It just made thing easier to have all ports open so I wouldn't have to port forward but I'm going to take it off the DMZ and just port forward.
Yeah, no wonder you're fucked. You just disabled your firewall completely for the PC. It's then only a matter of time until Windows gets rooted, no matter how well patched it is or what security software you've got on it.

In future:

- Never, ever, put your PC on a DMZ
- Open up the minimum ports you have to and for the minimum time you have to
