Hmm if you don't trust Microsoft for security, why do you use their OS Windows? If the OS is unsafe your security will be bad even with the best anti-virus--and anti-virus programs are the least important element in computer security.
You say that like I actually have a choice...

And no, Linux is not a choice. Not when 99% of all the programs you can purchase works out of the box in Windows and not on other OSes...

And Mythvan is right about the Windows native Firewall. At least in XP. Its not even a firewall, it is a cheese hole. Better not use it than use a firewall at all!

Or better yet, get a real firewall... One which works!
