Howdy,

I use the following mixture:

Firewall - Zone Alarm Free - http://www.zonelabs.com
Anti-Virus - AVG Free - http://free.grisoft.com
Anti-Spyware - Spybot Search & Destroy - http://www.spybot.info/en/

They work well and aren't hogs on system resources, no e-mail protection alas.

I use AVG free version, it's very good considering it's free

I use AVG, and Spybot Search & Destroy. Both very nice programs, and they're free!

get the free trial of Kasperysky Anti-virus. if you don't like it, don't buy it. personally, i've been worry free since i started using it.

Try Comodo for a firewall. It and Jetico got the only "excellent" designations from Virus Bulletin for free versions. I haven't tried their free antivirus program,I use Eset. Spyware Blaster is a good anti spyware tool and as long as you don't mind manually updating its free. I haven't had anything on my PC for the 2-3 yrs I'v used it.

Avast, hands down. Free and comes with every thing you need for security.

Etrust patrol is good as well, not free though.
