AVG from http://www.grisoft.com is a great free anti-virus software package. The ability of right-clicking a file and checking it for viruses it really handy and also the bootup scanner & email scanner are handy.
As gibberish said, having a router is much safer. Basically you can use the internet as normal but when something tries to attack your computer the NAT in the router doesn't know where to send the attack to so basically it doesn't reach your PC. While this is a bad thing if it's data you requested, you can always open ports that you are expecting data on (IE port 21 for FTP). In combination with a firewal, windows update patchesl and virus checker you have a fairly secure system.
