If you are an daily internet user you must have, next to your antivirus, a Firewall, that will block attacks and other threats send from the websites you visit, into your PC. If you use sensitive info on your PC, 20-30 quid to pay per year is nothing compared with how much you could loose if you are not safely browsing or running your PC but there are also free apps that work like a charm to protect your PC I recommend using Avast Free Antivirus along with the Comodo Firewall (which also has a free version). More help can be provided via PM if you have more questions.
