I spend most of my time online and I have heard that a firewall will decrease my speed. So, I've been online now for close to 10 years without using a firewall at home. I do of course use anti-virus software. I use the same setup as what David described. I spend most of my time online and I have heard that a firewall will decrease my speed.

I've never used a firewall at home. I had tried the usual free stuff like Zone Alarm only to see my access speeds decline. So I uninstalled it and never bothered again. Being behind a router does the trick for me. That said, I would NEVER do that in a corporate/business environment. At that stage, you definitely need real protection.

I like my Trendnet hardware firewall model TW100-BRM504 which I purchased almost two years ago. I like the product because it is a firewall and adsl modem all in one unit. 2. Doesn't affect the computer utilization you are using. 3. I found it easy to use, might be harder to use if you have never used a product like this before. 4. The first unit I purchase died in the first couple of months, No power. Trendnet replaced the unit and the new one has been working great ever since. 5. I think all internet users should use a hardware firewall/router. I think they gave a lot of protection to new users and new installations of any operating systems. For example I have seen and heard of new installations of Windows being infected with a virus within minutes of going online the internet.
