Hardware Firewall, Software Firewall, Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam - is it enough?

I have a Linksys firewall which terminates my cable connection.



The wireless feature of the firewall is disabled as I have a wired 100 Mb network throughout the house.



There are four PC's in the house. Each is running Adaware, AVG Anti-virus, and Kerio personal firewall.



Can someone still break into the network and garner executive privelidges on any of my PC's? How would I further prevent against this?



My NAS is a 250 GB Buffalo Technology Linkstation. It runs LINUX, however, has a UI which provides little to no capability to tweak security settings. Should I worry about this?



I think I have covered the bases but am still worried about HTTP traffic compromising security - should I be concerned about this and what would I do to prevent it?

this free tool will give you real time protection to help prevent this and it plays well with firewalls and anti virus http://spywareterminator.com there is no 100% safe way to prevent an attack except not having an internet conected.

some hackers can still give you viruses if you go into suspicious websites mostly porn websites, if you get spam or viruses on your computer, your anti-virus can still detect and delete them if it is upgraded.
Based on your setup I'd say that you're pretty well protected; far better than most.
