lol ... this is all you need to do. make sure your router does the following.

1. has the firewall enabled.
2. blocks anonymous requests
3. port forwards for the few apps u'll need, if even needed, depending on if you serv from the box or just use client.
4. if you want to be extra cautious, use windows firewall sparingly according to the ports you now forwarded. you'll be fine from most atks. since most script kiddies only nmap without force or probe, and they usually can't get past the filters to begin with.

use Firefox / Opera as your browser, and the if you actually care or just surf without caution get AVG as your anti-virus, dont have it real time scan, just do it yourself or schedule it once a week to scan. Use that with ad-aware's weekly update / scan and your pc will be problem free.
