RE: Firewall vs Anti-Virus
Firewall is supposed to monitor connections to the internet not scan an incoming connection for viruses. Firewalls also prevent malicious programs from transmitting private information to the internet. They can also prevent your computer from being compromised by hackers.
An anti-virus can scan files you download and does on-demand scans of all the files on your computer. Most can detect Trojan Horses, Worms, and other malware.
