I agree with TSH Zone Alarm is the best software firewall available and firewalls actually do good job theirselves keeping viruses from attacking your computer by not allowing access to certain ports..

AVG is another great free antivirus program..

The thing with ZoneAlarm is this: Unlike the Windows firewall, ZA tells you when programs are trying to access the Internet and allow you to decide whether you want those programs to phone home or not.

It's a handy way to ferret out spyware.
