I have a firewall built in to the cable router.

I'll run an antivirus program from time to time, and I also run adaware fairly often, but besides that nothing really.

No AV, no firewall. I do run Adaware and SpyBot every once in awhile.

I used to have Norton, but my subscription ran out and I got tired of the weekly reminders. Also, it would give me a pop-up once a day that told me to download updates. I got sick of it and deleted the program. No more protection from viruses.

I just have Norton AV 2003 right now. I'm not too concerned with not having a firewall though. Once I get on cable though, I'll definately get one.
