All the above.

Really, it all depends on what you need secured. If you REALLY want security, pull out your NIC, keyboard and graphics card from your PC.

At minimum, have AV/spyware and firewall. A broadband modem performing NAT is a good defense from someone attacking your PC by IP, so even if you only had one PC connected to a DSL/Cable modem, it is a good idea to use the router.

If you want to dive deeper into what network security involves, studying Security+ is a great way to start.

Get yourself a good DSL or cable router/firewall that provides stateful packet inspection. Linksys makes a couple of them.

In a nutshell here's what stateful packet inspection (SPI) is:

The only truly secure PC is one placing in a room with no doors or windows and not connected to anything except its own perepherils

For the rest of us - we use firewalls, AV products, AntiSpyware products and most of all strong passwords that are changed regularly and not used anywhere else.
