Time soon to spring for cable hookup; but would like advice on safe surfing strategy w/"always on" cable setup.
Have ZA firewall 2.6.231 which does a fine job of not giving away the store, have Spywareguard, Spyware Blaster, Spybot S&D, Naviscope to block adds/JavaScript and the like, and have added few lines to Registry from Trend Micro's AV site about >not doing certain things with use of MS mailer< which I seldom use, anyway.
But, I understand that for a well layered defense one should have a Linksys or NAT type router or... "something" like that? Have vague idea of what I'm talking about here, obviously, which can be dangerous - so can you folks guide me down the right road here on what I want before getting cable?
>>> Many many thanks as always, to many helpful folks I've happily found here for advice, which I've sought more than once, I'll say.
