Incoming: a router. Everyone should have one; the only real threats are scans that then exploit you if you're not protected.

Outgoing: a software firewall. You only need outgoing protection if you install stuff you don't trust etc., or you're unsure about things generally - stuff like that. I'm behind a few JANET firewalls so nothing gets in and I know what I'm installing, so don't use a software firewall anymore.

I've used pretty much every software firewall there is, and Sygate Pro is the best. Not free, not sure if it's even developed still since I dont use it now - Sygate was bought out by Symantec (don't use Symantec's one).
