Windows Firewall enough? (behind router)

I'm behind a D-Link 624+ rev-c wireless router, with default settings, and ports only open for a few games and my torrent program. Of course I have WEP encryption and disable SSID broadcast so locally I know I'm secure, yet what I'm curious about is if Windows Firewall is enough protection for my usage. I also have AVG Free installed for Anti-Virus.

I'm not the type to download programs illegally, pornography, or other files that could damage my system, which is why I think Windows Firewall is enough for my needs, yet I just want to be sure.

Thanks for any advice!

Did you know your router has a firewall also? Unless you are in the DMZ thats 2 firewalls...

You sound like you are well prepared.

Instead of AVG, install Avast! That will detect any problems that happen to arrive on your computer far better than AVG ever would and will eliminate the need to worry about outbound traffic. The Windows Firewall should be enough with the NAT in your router. You should be ok.
