What are the best tools to prevent, eliminate worms, virus..

Archived from groups: comp.security.firewalls (More info?)

Use a layered approach. Worms, virii, and web attacks can all get
through firewalls. Why? Because they are Layer 7 type attacks. A
firewall is protecting mainly Layer 2 and 3. While yes, some firewalls
have integrated URL filters and basic signature finding, I would feel
more confident in having a separate piece of hardware doing the IDS/IDP
portion. Just layer your solution and don't throw all your money into
one "magic box" until the hardware matures more. Just my thoughts...
