Antivirus software, will
not keep you safe!
By using antivirus software
will you reduce the risk of infection (if installed properly, if it is
up and running and if it is updated daily).
But you
really need a firewall as well.
Not only a firewall blocking
incoming traffic (as most hardware firewalls do), you also need one protecting
you from unwanted outgoing traffic.
And to make it even more secure,
should the firewall have some kind of IDS (intrusion detection system)
built in. This will greatly reduce your job and increase its effectiveness
as a protector of your computer, family and life.
