Go to Control panel>Security Centre>Windows Firewall>Advanced and under ICMP click on Settings then make sure all boxes there are unchecked (ticked). Then hit OK
Time for some housekeeping
Click START then RUN

You may wish to keep hold of the Kaspersky Online Scan as an extra on-demand virus-scanner.
If not you can uninstall it through Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs
If you register MalwareBytes Anti-Malware it will give you real-time protection.
I also reccomend this program.
Install WinPatrol
Download it from here

Make sure your Windows is ALWAYS up to date!
An unpatched Windows is vulnerable and even with the "best" Antivirus and Firewall installed, malware will find its way through.
So visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ to download and install the latest updates.
Update your Antivirus programs and other security products regularly to avoid new threats that could infect your system.
