I'd suggest adding SpwareBlaster to prevent spyware from being installed on your PC. Make sure to update the utility after you download it.

search on google for sites that can test your system (you give them permission to attack your computer, and they give you the results). There's one at www.dslreports.com

anti-virus and firewall are the two most important things, and we see that you have those covered. I'm not sure how good zone alarm pro is...hopefully it has special features like intrusion detection, ad/popup blockers, web referers, etc.

I would also use AD AWARE and SPYBOT and if you have cable or DSL, get a router for additional security.
