One of the best ways to protect yourself online is to be behind a router, it is an actual physical hard firewall that stops a lot of garbage. I don't even run any anti-virus software anymore. A good firewall (router) is the best defense.

"I don't even run any anti-virus software anymore."

Even behind a firewall, this isn't a good practice, especially if you are running Windows/IE.

I didn’t have an infection the damned thing just wasn’t stable. It seems better now, time will tell.
