I have two machines connected to my Comcast High Speed Internet via a hardwired Linksys 4 port router. I've been paying for Norton Personal Firewall every year and find it well worth it, although I haven't "updated and upgraded yet this year. My Norton keeps reminding me that I'm not fully protected from the latest threats. I like it because I can see real-time network activity. The main reason that I like the Norton firewall, however, is because it's got a built-in Pop-Up/Web Add blocker that is the best I've seen. I get exactly Zero Pop-Up adds, yet I can access services that I need to which would often require me to shut off a pop-up blocker.
I've been using the Comcast free McAfee Anti-Virus and it's been an adventure getting the Norton Firewall and the McAfee Anti-Virus to co-exist peacefully together. I'm thinking of scraping the McAfee and just getting Norton Internet Security Suite 2006 when it comes out.
