I have been hearing that a Router offers good protection for your computer. We have DSL and I have used Zone Alarm in the past, but my hard drive just crashed and had to replace it, thus I have just reinstalled Win2000 and all my other programs. I am thinking now I should get a router and forgo the zone alarm ( even though I use the free version). I have nothing on my computer that is sensitive ( ie financial ) so I don't know how necessary either a router or zone alarm is. As far as virus protection, I use AVG anti virus which I really like. Any advise would be appreciated.
