The best in Anti Virus software is a freebie:

Grisoft's AVG Free

Anti-Virus - Nod32 from ESET

Nod32
US Distributor

Firewall/antispyware - Agnitum Outpost
Outpost

Use both of these and never had a virus or spyware. They use few resources and have many options. Both have a fully functinal 30-day trial. Both have hourly updates and both protect against spyware and trojans.

Avoid Symantec and Kaspersky AV because of huge resource consumption. Also the free Zone-alarm firewall tends to work as an all or nothing firewall (few settings) and blocks a lot of apps. Symantec Firewall is a nightmare to configure for apps as well and eats a lot of resources.

Dell, and Trend Micro's PC-Cillan. Happy with both, but they aren't free :~)
