Dump Symantec! What OS is this for Windows or Linux? For Windows there's a good pair of freewares known as Jetico Personal and Commodo. Trend Micro offers some excellent retail products including antivirus. Another rather recent freeware for adware/spyware removal offers a mild firewall in the Spyware Terminator.
For Jetico, http://www.jetico.com/index.htm#/jpfirewall.htm
For Commodo, http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/
Spyware Terminator works well along with Grisoft's AVG free antivirus program and Lavasoft's Ad-Aware 2007 featuring Ad Watch. That is free at http://www.spywareterminator.com/
Besides offering free and retail versions of AVG 7.5 and AVG Professional Grisoft also offers a retail firewall program.

Hardware firewalls are generally included with the router used until more recently. You may want to look over some information on the differences between the hardware and software types in order to know what you need there. http://www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/Hardware_Software/2004/firewall_types.asp
