No, unless your machine is a mail server for Windoze boxen. If it is,
get Clam AntiVirus and clamassassin.

Yes.

Your distro probably has adequate tools for the job. My FC4 box has
firewall-config, maybe yours does too. If not, it's called something
else. Look in the system tools of your menus.
If you need more fine-tuning of the firewall, Google for "linux
firewall". Firestarter is a pretty good one.
