I have a router (D-Link DI-604), and my PC has the following installed:
Windows XP SP2 with all updates. I use IE6 SP1 and OE6.
McAfee Security package (Antivirus, Personal Firewall Plus, Privacy Service) from Comcast.
Windows Defender
Spybot S&D + TeaTimer
SpywareBlaster
Peer Guardian 2 (and I don't even use any P2P or file sharing)
A custom hosts file consisting of the Spybot entries plus those from a recommended website, I think it was this one.
Am I okay as is? Is there anything else I ought to do? I tried using IE7 for the first time yesterday but it seemed to hose up my system so I had to restore back. I'm not keen on Firefox but I am curious about Opera.
Is there a good website that tells how to set up a router properly for firewall rules, etc.? I think mine is mostly at default settings and I'm wondering if I should do more than that in it.
