Is XP Firewall Sufficient?

Guess my subject line says it all. I have activated the
XP firewall, have installed Spybot S&D, have McAfee
viruscan online, and Google popup blocker. Is my computer
properly protected? I am concerned about indiscriminately
downloading protection software of one sort or another,
thinking that one might interfere with another.
So........ what ARE the necessary defenses these days?

Also - is there a way to search newsgroups to avoid asking
questions that have probably already been asked?

Thanks!
Jude
