I think you should always keep your firewall ON and specially when you do not have any anti virus software. Because firewall is the main gateway from which each and every bit of data goes through and it checks for the any malicious bits to stop them. To turn on the firewall on window 7 system, Go to the Control Panel and open Network And Security where you would be having an options to change the settings for firewall.

Once you have detected the virus on your system then you can manually delete it as the file path will be shown to your by whatever software have detected the virus. But only deleting the file did not make your computer safe as it would have changed some registry values also which you have to set to the original one.

If you want to make your computer safe for all the time then there is way you can do it by keep on updating the software which handles the security of your computer system. If you are not using the updated version of the anti virus then it would not be able to detect the latest viruses which will not be in its database. So for being safe from all kind of viruses, You should always use latest version of security software.
