There are a number of unrelated things that 'block the internet' What
exactly do you want to block?
a) incoming connections to your computer?
b) spam and phishing mail?
c) mail containing viruses and trojans?
d) rootkits?

All of the above should be blocked well before they can reach any user
application, so use native Linux programs and capabilities.

(a) is best blocked by a firewall. The best tools for this are the NAT
capability in your router if you're on broadband or wireless and/or the
Linux built-in firewall. 

(b) and (c) can be stopped with Spamassassin and Clamav respectively,
but are best used alongside the mail server thats part of every Linux
distro. You'll also need some form of glue between these tools and your
mail server - look at Amavis, simscan, etc, but the glue is specific to
your mailserver. Greylisting is also good and so is using SPF if you own
a domain name.   

Blocking spam and viruses is neither easy or fast, so either start
learning about it or switch to an ISP with good spam and virus filters
and let them take care of the problem.

(d) (rootkit detection and prevention) is entirely your responsibility -
practise safe computing, NEVER run anything under root thats not a
native backup or system maintenance tool and use whatever Ubuntu uses in
place of SELinux or Apparmor. Install chkrootkit, arrange for it to run
weekly or daily as a cron job AND READ THE REPORTS it mails to root.

If you want more advice, you'll have to tell us exactly what you want to
protect your computer from.

Windows apps are entirely the wrong things to use for securing your
Linux computer. Stick to native packages: they are generally better
designed and, more importantly, are built to work in the Linux
environment.
