I may have fw "leaks" turned around, but my point is still valid. Anything getting by my fw is avast!'s job.

From XP Help & support Center:

A firewall helps protect your computer by preventing unauthorized users from gaining access to it through a network or the Internet. Windows Firewall is built into Windows XP and is turned on automatically, helping to protect your computer against viruses and other security threats.

A firewall is different from antivirus software, but the two of them work together to help protect your computer. You might say that a firewall guards the windows and doors against strangers or unwanted programs trying to get in, while an antivirus program protects against viruses or other security threats that can try to sneak in through the front door.
