The only way to be as safe (as its possible to be now) is to have a

Its just a matter of configuration. I have a pretty good one 
'Speedstream 5667'. I have disabled the Windows software firewall 
software because its just a bloody nuisance.

No home user actually has a hardware firewall.  These devices (linksys, 
etc.) are just small computers running OS'es and firewall software with 
their own set of problems.

It may help to abstract the firewall from the host computer, but it's 
just more software in a black box...
