You only get a conflict with 2 software firewalls, so using the router's firewall and a software one like Comodo or Zone Alarm will be fine.

Opinions are divided over whether you need a software firewall if your router is setup properly. It's down to personal preference. I've always used both, but I know some people say that's not necessary.

See here for antivirus recommendations.
