The most important thing by a country mile is that you are not using a USB modem. So long as your public IP does not terminate on your PC and your router acts as a 'stateful' firewall then you'll be protected from 99% of attacks. Other than that you'll be ok with the windows unless your wireless network is in danger of hijacking, then you should beef up PC security.
