No. You need three kinds of protection:

1. A firewall. You're running the WIndows firewall, which is OK, but since
it monitors incoming traffic only, it's not as good as almost any
third-party firewall which monitoirs traffic in both directions. I use and
like the free version of ZoneAlarm

2. An anti-virus program. AVG is a decent choice.

3, Anti-spyware software. Because no single product catches everything, you
need several to protect you. I recommend the following, all free:

Spyware Blaster
Adaware
Spybot Search and Destroy
Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta.
