This question comes up a lot here, and I’m surprised Yahoo doesn’t have it in their FAQ. However, I keep my answer handy. These are tools I can recommend as reliable, having tested all of them within the last two months.
firewall:
Comodo (http://www.comodo.com), or
PC Tools (http://www.pctools.com/firewall), though Comodo will be a bit easier to use.
antivirus:
Avira (http://www.free-av.com)
AVAST! Home (http://www.avast.com)
AVG (http://free.grisoft.com)
all provide realtime protection and automatic updates.
antispyware:
Spyware Terminator (http://www.SpywareTerminator.com) or
Spyware Doctor (http://pack.google.com)
either one will give you good, realtime protection, along with
Ad-Aware Free (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad_a… and
Spybot S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/downl…
for additional removal ability.
Finally, a generic intrusion protection tool is a good supplement to the tools in the first three categories. The best one I’ve tested is System Safety Monitor Free edition (http://www.syssafety.com) which does a better job than most of the commercial intrusion prevention applications from major vendors.

Boring question. Have you looked on the site, no. You just put your question up, and let other people do your re-search for you.
