I am doing a PC rebuild Friday and was wondering what the best firewall
to use would be?

Win ME using IE 6 as a browser - mainly cos SWMBO wants to use RoboForn.
Netscape being an alternative, but in my experience it takes forever to
load (even on a 1.3 Ghz Athlon with half a GIG of memory)

At the minute using a modem for dialup so no router etc, but will be
upgrading to broadband later this year

Using AVG anti virus, my main priority is full protection, and a
configurable pop-up killer
