I currently have McAfee Firewall and VirusScan Online installed, and I have a Linksys BEFSR81 router - I got that in order to share the Internet connection between my PC and laptop, though it comes in very handy if I want to share, copy or back up files, as I now effectively have a LAN. I leave the PC connected to it whether I'm using the laptop or not; there's really no point in constantly unplugging it and plugging it back in again.

I've just tried the All Service Ports and Common Ports tests - and got a perfect rating! Whether that's due to McAfee, the router or both, I neither know nor care; that sort of news is always welcome. Let's hear it for NAT!
