The only reason I recommend that one is I *KNOW* it has the firewall built in.

If you don't have one already, you really should look at getting a strong HOSTS file to complement your anti-virus & firewall.

I found this years ago, and it really works.

Thanks, John
can't afford that for sure..

I have a feeling I can get a router second hand from a neighbor..
at any rate I'm defintely not going wireless..

Sounds like AVAST for virus protection is what I'll be doing
thanks to Brian and PJ

Trend Micro is what I'm paying for ..
Been happy with it.. but then I got their newsletter
and an article leads with this:

"Microsoft Ends Support of Windows XP
Old operating systems that are no longer supported are a BIG threat.
After April 8, 2014, running Microsoft Windows XP is a public health
risk to the Internet. Because so many people are still using Windows XP
everyone could be at risk."

then it danced into an elaborate article - scare tactic style. geez.
one reader wrote "sure , send me $500 and I'll switch.."

Now what was that about getting a router for a firewall?

This is the firewall/router I'm currently using:
