Virus protection
I was wondering what is a good anti- virus software to get.

Symantec or McAfee....as long as you have something on there. And in my opinion, yes you do need it.
Trend has a free online scanner that you could use, problem is you want to have something on there thats scanning real time, otherwise it would be too late in most cases.

Just a little heads up,
My company is sifting through the "Sasser Worm" right now.
It starts off by rebooting your PC a couple of times.....then WATCH OUT!!! 
Update your definitions daily - |

Sasser's impact "should" be limited if used behind a firewall.
For Anti-virus - set it up to update daily...
