This implies you do not have an antivirus prgram running on your puter, only a firewall. That leaves you very vulnerable. All the firewall will do is restrict intruders from outside your network getting to your puter. Meanwhile viruses, attached to legitimate stuff you download, especially email can and will bypass the firewall and infect your PC.
Get yourself a current antivirus solution now, and ensure that it is regularly updated online. A reasonable freebie offering is available at
