firewalls dont protect you from viruses except from the occasional network worm, although they indirectly do so by protecting you from hackers.

as for Nod32 i've used it for 2 years now on all my machines and have never had to worry about a virus. Its detected things even Kaspersky AV has not and Kaspersky is damn good too. AV-Comparatives does a good job of objectively testing Anti-Virus apps. Even though NOD32 detects technically slightly less than Norton and some others, it False-Positives far less and has better heuristics and is quicker overall than most scanners. I like it
