Enable Windows build in firewall! That's the least you can do. And you don't need to configure anything in it.

4 months is waaaaaay too long...
Anyways, AV's don't need to be active all the time. This is a major misconseption.... A virusscanner scans for virussen. But there are two ways:
1) run it full automatically and let it always be active. It will scan every file you execute, send, etc... This is what slows down PC's...
2) run the scanners when you want it. Don't let it run constantly... Just start it every week or so and do a full system scan. The virusscanner doesn't stay active and is run like any normal program and after you've done the scan, it is quit again. There is no slowing down what-so-ever....
