I have used anti spyware before but they never come up with anything but cookies. (OMIGOD Cookies! :rofl: )

I only have avg antivirus and windows update on my machines now.

Oh yea. and a router w/ NAT & built in firewall.

I just personally monitor my processes and config files registry and all that stuff I'm familiar with them enough to tell if something is not right.

P.S THREE years with this setup and not a single problem. I guess that's what happens when you know what you are doing. :p

~Windows Firewall only blocks in bound traffic unless told not to.

Seeing as your router does this already, your windows firewall hasn't actually got any traiffic to block. So it's just sitting there doing nothing.

If you do turn it off, Just remember that you have done so, incase you ever plug into the internet directly.

Depends on what you have set already.

MAC Filtering is a must.

Encryption is nice, to prevent eavesdropping.
