Vulnerable?

Hey everyone

This may seem like a silly question to ask, but I feel a need to know this.

I'm always paranoid about viruses and spyware. Heck, I go overboard over small things and won't let myself try out new websites most of the time.

I always hear complaints about my antivirus software, so I wanted to here the opinions of some of the people here.

I used Norton Internet Security and Antivirus as one of my firewalls. My other firewall is built into this modem which I own:

I was told by my brother who works for SBC that it has one of the best firewalls in it. Does anyone know if this is true?

Also, for spyware, I have Windows Defender running. I also run Adaware and Spybot once a day too, to check for spyware.

I'm always too paranoid to download or buy new programs in fear of screwing up my comp, so I just stick with these.

Do you guys think my computer is vulnerable, or do you think it has pretty good security?
Thanks in advance
