Even if you do have a router, I would recommend a software firewall.
I would recommend Outpost (www.agnitum.com) over Zone Alarm or Norton.
Norton programs tend to be very big resource hogs. Outpost is highly
configurable through two methods, wizards or just doing it through the
properties of the plugins. Plus you get a pop-up block and ad blocker also
built into the software.

Zone Alarm is good, however, I would ask this first: Do you have, or are
you planning to get, a LinkSys Wireless Access Point Router? IF the answer
is yes, you probably don't need one. LinkSys has a hardware firewall. I
removed my firewall software after installing LinkSys.
Assuming the best route to go is a software firewall, the two best are
probably Norton Firewall, and Zone Alarm.
