Yes I've only heard good things about NOD32.
I've been waiting for my Norton's subscription to expire so I could change over to something else.
So is the Router sufficient as a firewall?
I've only got it in default mode, firewall is 'on', do I need to get in there and set up a specific configuration?

If I was choosing again, I might go for something else that does not get so greedy.

I've read that 360 is a better version than previous Norton's but still quite CPU intensive.
Now that I've done a clean install on my lappy I want to do some free trial periods of the various suites on offer and see how we go.

That combined with a natted router will act as a firewall and protect you from the internet worms which wont see your pc as it has a local net IP.
If you decide to open up some ports on the router, say to run a web server or to access your pc from work then most routers these days also have a firewall capability.
