How can I keep my computer safe without internet security?

How can I keep my computer safe without internet security?
Like when i’m downloading, eg.

Should I use Mozzilla Firefox or Internet Explorer.

How can I check if my computer security suite is working – I keep getting nothing whenever I run a scan?

I presently use Firefox exclusively as my browser, Sunbelt Personal Firewall (paid registered version) is always running, Webroot Spy Sweeper is my main anti-spyware with Ad-Aware as secondary backup, and AVG Free edition is my anti-virus. In addition to that, I always run CCleaner after every internet session. I’m running on a Windows 2000 professional OS. Now the thing is that I run a scan with Spy Sweeper and AVG about once a week, but not once in about a year have I gotten anything at the end of any of the scans but “congratulations! no spyware/virus found” at the end of the scans. So what I need to know is whether my security suite is really working that well, or could there be something that it might be overlooking.
Any knowledgeable opinions out there?
