hi im building a nas/general pc and was basically thinking can it deal with security and viruses if a computer was to acess internet through it?

ie

router > nas > protected computer


im not just talking about fire walls i was wondering any way it can scan the data packets and look for viruses and worms and stuff?

main reason im intrested in this is that i just hate antivirus programs, always asking for updates and scan computer. so i thought i just get a seperate computer to deal with all the security stuff and get rid of the slow antivirus apps.
