Grizzly,

ClamAV is a good anti-virus tool, you might try Shorewall for setting up a
firewall.

I don't use a firewall on Ubuntu anymore.  I just make sure that I don't
have things like telnet and ftp running and instead use ssh and sftp.  I use
fail2ban to keep the script kiddies from accidentally breaking in.  I also
make sure that login is disabled for root and that my Web servers do not run
with root privileges.
