An antivirus should be active at all times (even if no net connection is available) and should be updated at least twice a week.

A firewall is not necessary for a 56k modem user, but is highly recommended if you have a static ip address, as used in cable modems.

Zone alarm is a good product and considering its price (free), you cant go wrong

About the Antivirus - you are right - i wanted people to name a good antivirus 2 use (give me your recommandation).

about the Firewall : Zonalarm is nice , but not enough -
4 example - he does not respond to massive arrival of packets from a shell (fast computer).

and yes , if u connected alot to the net , talk alot in IRC\'s -
u should ve firewall (even though u dont have static ip).

Thank You,
Me.
