Ok so my Norton has ran out of service, so I Quickly installed a 30 day trial to Avg 2014 until I could get to the shops to pick up a new one.
however, this product does not come with a firewall, which worries me. FL as safe as it is is prone to Ddos and hackers, I really don't want this PC to get hacked or anything... so I was wondering if there is any free firewall I can download to tide me over?

Just download avira or something, it's a waste of money to buy a license.

I've used AVG (free) for 5 years now, I guess. Never got any virus this one can't handle.
Atleast what I know.
Just set AVG to scan everything that comes to your pc.

I've been using AVG for years - I can't fault it. Click on a link with a virus - blocks the link. I do believe the virus never even reaches your computer? Complicated tech stuff. I've had a few viruses on my computer before, AVG sorted it out for me. Windows firewall should be good enough.
Simple and free.

I use AVG but I often hear people say it is crap. To be honest, a simple free anti-virus is all you need for everyday civilian use. You're hardly a big time hacker or someone of notable import. (Politician etc.)
I've heard that Avast is also a good free option, but I've never used it myself.

For something free go with Comodo and Malwarebytes. Scan with last mentioned if you're worried something got through Comodo.

I use Microsoft security essentials, I believe it comes with windows now(?) and so, of course, it comes with the firewall linked up and everything. It works, I'm not sure what more you'd want to have.
