yes, you do need to install a spearate firewall and AV software on the mac...although if you are using OSX then there is a firewall built in.

the firewall on the pc can be accessed (and turned on/off) via the security control centre (programs - accessories - system tools)

you can attach the mac to the network along with the PC but you will need to buy a router...
