Re: what internet security do you use
I've used a varity of products. For a home user, my favorite product is NOD32 which is $39 a year. You can get it at nod32.com, it does everything in one.
As an extra layer, I also use Windows Defender since you can schedule scans with it. Sure, Adaware and Spyware Blaster are great but I've never had them find anything that the Defender \ NOD32 combo could not.
I've deployed Symantec's enterprise product on a few customer networks. Its okay for small business, but it isn't my preference.

What's a hacker going to do ? Steal my pirated video and music and use the connection I ganked from the neighbors?
If you use common sense and firefox, you won't really run into any problems. Run a linux distro and you're even safer.
Have been running my comp firewall/antivirus free since windows 95 and have never had a problem. Only tool I use is adaware and I don't even use that since I've switched to firefox.

Re: what internet security do you use
The only ---- I use is the built in firewall in my router. Other than that no apps or windows firewall or anything. The only problems I've had have been self created (trying to get keys for pirated software by running a "generator" which installs a bunch of ----, etc).
