Old computer running Smoothwall.
Seriously, why do you need it "super secure"?
I'm just using the firewall on my router and its more than enough for my needs, especially combined with a decent AV software installed on the PCs like NOD32.

And now the more sensible reply....
Software or hardware firewall, and how much do you have to spend?

I need a software firewall, and probably something to remove trojans.
At home on our 8mb bulldog internet:
we have the internet going into an Origo 8400 router, then that goes into an 8 port LAN hub, and 4 of us share the internet.
Someone has been hacking into my computer, as i have an aginum firewall installed and the logs show it.
I have a strong suspicion its my neighbours, as when i'm chatting on msn and i say something funny/when im playing Dota on warcraft 3, they always laugh and when i decide enough is enough and pull out my internet cable and go outside for a smoke, low and behold, everything goes quiet and my neighbours all open their windows.
I'm not being paranoid as i have the internet logs to prove it.
I really would like to just make my comp completely secure. The only programs i use are warcraft 3, emule and msn, (and internet browsers.) Therefore, the only ports that i have manually opened through the router are:
2 6112 6112 TCP 10.0.0.3
3 4662 4662 TCP 10.0.0.3
4 4672 4672 UDP 10.0.0.3
5 4661 4661 TCP 10.0.0.3
I have not set anything up other than our Bulldog username and passwords on the Origo 8400 router, so there are no NAT or anything else on the router side.
Please could you help me, as i'm also in the middle of an audit for a project, and in there are patient names and addresses, which i don't want anybody seeing.

and my budget for something to protect me from hackers is limitless, as long as its software, well am willing to put £100-200 into it.
