do i sound like a retard?
The safest thing really is to get a seperate router. They dont cost too much and mean that your computer is always protected. Make sure you get one that has a built in firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI).
PS the white bit is probably an inline filter. You only need to use it if you want to plug the ADSL and a telephone into the same socket in the wall. God - retard...
From personal experiences DON'T get AVG free edition it sucks and it fucks up ur pc afta a bit.

anyone got the knowledge on wireless. i know obi has.good idea? secure? cost-effective? not worth it? smoke and a pancake?
not worth it unless you need it. wired is cheaper and faster.
I dont bother with this because a) its adds extra overhead to your information sent over the wireless and b) any secure site you visit...
