a) Get a ADSL Router which does NAT (will be affective as a firewall)
b) ZoneAlarm is fine
c) Get Anti Virus!

AVG Free is better than most antivirus scanners that you pay for

inbuilt router protection is good enough to not warrant something installed on a local PC

I have no antivirus or firewall and I know for a fact I haven't got any virus's.

I don't know how people manage to get them in the 1st place.

I'm tempted to try that and not get any problems.

I have read all the stuff about a totally unpatched xp system being hacked within 20 mins or whatever though.
