Craig, I wouldn't rely on PC guard if I were you - a friend of mine used to use it and I was always going round to delete all manner of nasties it hadn't detected. Best to use something like Kaspersky, or Bitdefender http://anti-virus-software-review.toptenreviews.com/
If you go for software that doesn't have a firewall included (and you don't have a hardware firewall) then I can recommend ZoneAlarm http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/freeDownload.jsp - it's free. Of course if you don't want to pay for antivirus software you could always download AVG from here http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5#avg-anti-virus-free it's not bad, but the free version means you need to scan your pc every time you boot (unless you disable it).
Cheers
