I need to know if I need a software firewall like Zonealarm.

I have a server online Apache2Triad
I have Windows XP SP2 (All Up to date)
I am behind a wi-fi router with WPA-TKIP (No DMZ)
I have AVG-free (Antivirus)
I have Spybot S&D
I have Ad-aware 1.06
I use Firefox (I only use IE for pcpitstop.com )

So with the Windows FW and Router, Do I need a software FW?

If you need more info, just ask.

P.S. I forwarded port 80 on my router to me and opened it on my Windows FW so I can have my server online.
