I am running VPC 7.0.2 with OS 10.4.7 on a Powerbook G4 Ti 667.

I would like to install AVG Anti-Virus. Given the Mac firewall, do I
also need the AVG firewall? What about Ewido anti-spyware?

Thank you,

Depends on what version of Windows you're running. If it's XP with SP2,
then you will not need any other firewall. SP2 contains it's own
firewall.

You will most definitely need anti-spyware software. I use Adaware in
VPC and it works very well as it has very little overhead and will not
slow the system down.
