Firewall Protection

I am using PC-cillin for virus protection on the desktop pc which has been working fine (to the best of my knowledge).To enable the networking of our laptop and desktop to run together i had to diable the firewall in PC-cillin in order for the networking to work. Over the last week some pop ups and strange alert icons keep opening up all the time and also some strange web sites pop up as well.
My question is: As i dont know to much about this sort of stuff, i am sure that the problem is no firewall in my virus software, so i need another virus program that can have the firewall on at all times and still let my network run. Is ther a freeware/shareware program that can do this or would the protection be limited due to being shareware or freeware?. Would i be better off to purchase software?. I welcome any tips or thoughts on this problem..
