>>Are the external routers really that effective in blocking viruses and hackers?

Hackers? Yes, for the most part. Viruses? No. The bare firewall does not detect ot block viruses. You need to have virus detection software running on each machine, or on a firewall in front of them. Most of the Linksys routers with current firmware will allow you to purchase and install ZoneAlarm Pro and/or PC-Cillin to centrally manage the PCs running behind it to ensure they have current virus definitions, etc. I prefer to run Norton Antivirus on each machine.
