At work, I'm behind a corporate firewall. Also, McAfee on our workstations has updates automatically "pushed" out by hq.
At home, each computer gets auto updates from McAfee a/v subscription. All three are running BlackIce Defender. Plus all are behind a Netgear FM114P router with hardware firewall.
