antivirus software

Last year I bought Norton Internet Security and because
of the built in firwall was not able to get it to work on
my wireless network so I have been running without any
protection. I figured that the Microsoft Broadband
firewall would be enough.
However, one of my computers was nailed with a nasty
virus recently and I'm rethinking virus protection.
Any thoughts?

If your computer was infected by a virus, running behind the base station
firewall, what was the source and name of the virus? With the firewall on,
the most likely scenario was the user initiated the access. Once on your
side of the firewall, a virus can do whatever it wants. That's one of the
reasons Windows XP SP2 furnishes an additional firewall to protect the
machines from each other.
