Home LAN Firewall

[TreeClimberPyro]

I am looking for a home LAN firewall to protect a family from any potential virus. They are not very tech savvy. I was hoping from something that is easy to set up, easy to use and reliable. If anyone has a good product that would fit these needs, I would greatly appreciate it.

IMHO, asking for a firewall for a non-tech savvy family is like asking if there is a safe power tool for children.

Am gonna be brief. These says, bad guys don't need to attack you front-door (what a FW guards), they do much easier things like Phisting. Entice your non-savvy family family to click a bogus site and BAM! they are in, and no FW will save you from that.

If you are helping these folks, force them to maintain backups, and if I was going to do this, OS Image Backup of each machine in the house. No complaining they have to buy a backup NAS, otherwise am out.
