this is for a desktop running Mandrake 9.0

I'd have to say the best Linux virus software would be staog.

The best firewall for Linux, I'd have to say is netfilter. Not sure about easy to configure, but there are many programs out there that can configure it for you.

echo ":;S=$D$S$D;D=$S$D$S;B=$S$B$S;Z=$B expr $Z + 1$B;G=$S$G$S";echo $G
