just wondering, i now have adsl using a router to connect to the internet and i was wondering if i needed to keep my firewall on my computer or will the router take care of all of that?

If you don't understand firewalls, I suggest you leave the software one on there :) If you do understand them, then you'd know the answer to the question.

Software firewalls sometimes help at LANs anyways.. so it won't hurt.
