One of my defense mechanisms in dealing with e-mailed viruses is simple. I don't use any e-mail programs. All my e-mailing is done with webmail. Hotmail, Yahoo, etc. My messages are automatically scanned for viruses, worms, trojans, etc... by using those.

I do have a LAN set up here but both computers are on a dial-up system for online activity. Thinking about getting DSL. What would you recommend for a firewall?
