I do feel for you being overseas. My brother was stationed in germany and I used to send him stuff all the time. Mostly car parts. I normally have spare routers and wish I had one I could send to you.
Ooops! I am using the installed firewall for Windows XP Home edition. Not good enough? I have never really had any problems. I have Adware SE and Spybot and check them frequently. Only 'data miners' show up and I delete them.

Thanks for the offer of a router. My dad sends "care" packages when I need something like books but the shipping can be high. Shipping FROM Germany is highER! But I do love the food here. And it is cheaper than in the states.
