Encryption

Data Wiping

Proxy VPN

Email

There is a lack of privacy free email services, nearly all of them are paid for services, for a free secure email account your best bet is to use tor proxy and open an email with any free provider hiding your computer IP but some free webmail providers ban tor proxy IPs.

Antivirus

Firewall

Although Windows comes with a free firewall, it is very basic that allows for little configuration and does not warn you when a program installed in your computer wants to access the Internet, Windows firewall only warns you when an outside IP wants to get inside, if you were to have a trojan installed in your PC you would not be warned when it connects to the Internet sending out personal data.
