Windows has a firewall, just use that. If it were me, I'd uninstall McAfee and disable all the auto-run for the tons of things that probably show up as icons by your clock. You can leave Ad-Aware if you're nervous but things like Quicktime, Acrobat and all the "updaters" are completely unnecessary.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
