A firewall would come in handy too, I would recommend ZoneAlarm. It has a free version and is one of the better firewalls out there I thought...

As you can see from above, there are various top choices available for a resident anti-virus product.

I would suggest you try each of them as a free trial for 15 days first. Find one that you really like, before actually purchasing it. Keep us updated!
