It seems to me that "anti-virus software" + "a hardware firewall" does all that, but perhaps I'm missing something.

I use windows firewall. It is okay for my needs. Zonealarm fucked up my machine too.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I am grumpy because my host decided to upgrade me to Plesk without telling me. I must be in the middle of migration right now, because I've got all half functionality on everything. And their tech support chat is not going right now. I really don't want to sit on the phone with someone.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm looking to upgrade from my pokey 1GB flash drive.
Any recommendations? I was thinking I wanted one with some sort of protection (biometric or password), but am skeptical of the cross-platformability.
When I bought mine, 1GB was hot shit. 4GB would be nice, 16GB...well, depends on price.
What are you guys using?

Heh, I'm still excited about upgrading my 256mg to a 1G, myself.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Microcenter tends to have good prices.
A while back they had generic 2gb thumbs for $15...

I've got a few SanDisk 1GB Mini Cruzers, and I think one of the 2 GB ones, also a couple of the 512 MB ones. They've been reliable and crossplatform. I've not used any with the biometrics or otherwise in them though.

You can get 1GB from Sandisk for $14.99 at Microcenter.
I have a friend who's very mobile, and I'm pretty sure he's running Thunderbird and maybe other apps off of a secure Sandisk drive. I think.
