I use a hardware firewall in my router plus the firewall built in to WinXP SP2. I also have McAfee Virus Scan running.

Absolutely no problems.

USB ADSL Modem so no hardware firewall for me.

Sygate Firewall Pro (Kerio Free Firewall until recently)
Kaspersky Anti-virus
Trojan Defence Suite 3
Wormguard
Script Sentry
RegPortector
Adaware
Spybot
Hijack-This
Proxomitron Web Proxy

Paranoid? Me?
