you can get a virus even in a photo!! yes! there is possible to put a virus in a JPG image. Then, a firewall is not a warranty against virus infection.

Your chances of getting viruses are lessened, but you can get a virus from just checking an email or excepting a photo from a friend.

Hi, No, firewall only stop the attacks. it cannot stop the virus on the webpage. perhaps you can try Norton and Mcafee to remove the virus. but you need to pay for the software.
i also recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar, which can disable the virus, becasue the virus can only run on IE.
firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and spyware, adware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.
firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.
