It's really good and its free. Plus, your ISP should provide you with Antivirus, Firewall etc. ALL FREE cause of your service.

The firewall should be the software checking for unauthorized access and most firewalls have a standard default set of options enabled that should provide basic security for any home user.

I swear by the zonealarm firewall and the other answers are some good practises too. You might also want to check for keyloggers that can be installing remotely to your computer. a good freeware app is listed below.

Two free programmes you can try include:
Cyberhawk

Prevx

I'd use both with caution.
Something more suited to a novice is Active Security Monitor

Try this site. It has various tests and will tell you if your PC is invisible to others while on the net.
