You always need a firewall and anti virus there are some good free one out there:

The best free protection for your computer is:
Comodo Pro (firewall) and AVG Anti Virus Free Edition (Version

More user friendly option:
ZoneAlarm (firewall) simpler to use and requires less setting up then Comodo Pro

All available from download.com

I recently removed my McAfee firewall and installed Comodo Pro, its the best firewall I’ve ever used and comes top in leaktests (see below) if after installing Comodo you get too many warnings turn the defence + setting to clean computer or off, its has nothing to do with the firewall part of Comodo it simply monitors system changes.

Would also recommend that you use a safer browser like Mozilla Firefox, and download additional anti-spyware software my favourite is Ad-aware 2008.

Install the McAfee SiteAdvisor add-on – when searching for something using yahoo, google or msn, it displays either a green tick (safe site), yellow exclamation mark (use with care) or a red cross (dangerous site) next to every result.

(Don’t use AntiVir, some people recommended Avira AntiVir to me so I removed AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0 and installed AntiVir but I could not get it to update, the forums are full of people having the same problem)

uninstall AVG and get the Google Pack which is free and never expires. It has antivirus and spyware removal tools that work really well, highly recommended,
