Firewall recommendation is Guarddog
(http://www.simonzone.com/software/guarddog/).

Anti-virus recommendation is F-Prot (plus QtFprot)
(http://www.f-prot.com/products/home_use/linux/),
(http://freshmeat.net/projects/qtfprot/).

To the list;
Using a live CD only. Does it have a firewall already and if not why?
