The default Fedora firewall is pretty good. Just make sure that the
'iptables' service is running (should be, by default). You can use the
GUI 'system-config-services' tool to look at what's running, or run
'sudo service iptables status' from the command line.
About that web server... See below for an opinion on that.
What is the best anti-virus?
In my experience, most Linux users/systems don't bother. I think it's
generally considered to be a low-probability threat on Linux. You can
certainly use ClamAV (open-source signature-based AV), but I don't
know how much it will integrate with your other programs' usage.
You're almost definitely NOT going to find the kind of comprehensive,
all-seeing, all-knowing, checks-all-file-access AntiVirus suite that
you've grown to know in the Windows world.
I don't use one with Linux either. But on XP I use AVG, which has Linux
editions.
