do you want an all in one? or happy to buy seperate programs?

Could do NOD32 for anti-virus and just use the windows service pack 2 firewall.

http://www.nod32antivirus.com/

Zonelabs or Kaperspy Internet security Suites?

If she already connects via a router then that will act like a strong firewall against incoming traffic. In which case i would install Nod32 on each machine

Another Option, Microsoft One Care and Nod32 antivirus on each machine

Sorry, not a clear cut answer but there are things for you two have a look at, what i would do if you are both in the same house?

Router for the net (Firewall) then Nod32 on each machine
