Depends on what version of Windows you're running. If it's XP with SP2,

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.

I'm running Windows 2000, so I guess I need to run a firewall (other
than the OS X firewall)?

Is Adaware better than the AVG ewido anti-spyware?
