[Firewalls]

Hello everybody. I love your guys product, I think it and CCleaner are my two favourite computer applications!

Anyways, I was checking the "So how did I get infected in the first place" thread and it seems to reconmend a firewall. I checked out all three and Kerio seems to have "ended", and Online Armor and Outpost's free versions seem to have not been updated since last April.

So I ask the question, Is there another alternative for a good Firewall that updates frequently? Or can I just stick to Window's 7 Firewall?

Oh yeah and is this a good security load out:

MSE

Anti Malwarebytes Free (to be upgraded)

Javacool's SpywareBlaster

MVPS HOSTS

Final question. I got an Linux computer and I'm wondering, is there any other security programs I need besides Avast anti-virus?
