The windows 7 firewall is absolutely fine. Just remember that outgoing programs are not blocked by default.
What I do is set incoming and outgoing to blocked and just add individual rules manually for programs that need them.
I don't use anti-virus software and just use the windows firewall and haven't had any problems.0
