![]() Okay then, one more. Would the remote machine need a firewall as well?

![]() Ideally yes. I think a router acts as a sort of firewall, but is not the best. I run full antivirus and internet security software on both my computers. Many of the new programs have multi user licenses that allow it to be installed on up to three machines.

![]() Personally I can't stand any of the current commercial offerings - www.avast.com completely free - and way better than nortons or mcafee...
It'll handle your day to day needs - add in spybot search and destroy - and you're pretty much solidly protected.
