    Firewall: Zonealarm or comodo
    AntiVirus: AVG, but I recommend buying one, I'm not current on the best so check a recent Cnet review.
    Spyware: AVG free

    I agree AVG but it can be annoying when it does a scan on everu startup and i cant find a way to disable it.

    Zonealram is the best free firewall out there and AVG is a great free antivirus. Other great free tools out there are adaware and spybot s&d to take care of your spyware problems.

    Kaspersky rules.
    All the others really slowdown the PC.

    avast! is my favourite anti-virus. It updates automatically, so you can just set it up and forget about it.
