Well I've always just used my router's hardware firewall, but I'm going to college and they are telling me running a private network (i.e. router in my room) is not allowed. Apparently viruses/spyware/etc is a big problem in college, so what should I set myself up with?
I'm going to use NOD32 for anti-virus purposes for starters. My NF4 board has some active armour thing. How effective is that, and is it automaticly running or do you have to do something to set it up?
Would that be all I need, or should I look to a software solution to fight off the evil college trash? I've heard ZA is good, I used to use it but it started to piss me off and I ditched it for my router. I'm open to trying again if it's the best one out there, but if it's not then what do you suggest. Like most people, I really hate crap that eats up tons of resources, but I want to make sure i'm protected.
Suggestions?
