Windows firewall: is it sufficient?

I've just kicked out Kaspersky firewall + antivirus because of problems
and I was wondering whether to stick to the Windows integrated
firewall from now on.

I'm a bit worried because the Kaspersky warned me of "Lovesan attacks"
and "Helkern attacks" within minutes of my connecting to the Internet.
The Windows integrated firewall has yet to warn me of anything and I've
been surfing for nearly an hour already.

The windows anti-malaware programm, for instance, is no good in my
opinion: it never detected anything at all on my PC while Spybot now
always detects a few spywares.

Any advice?
