What are some Good Antivirus and Anti-Spyware Programs… I would perfer if they’re Free versions instead of Trial Versions. Thanks…. Also, any other cool little small securit tools would be great to if you know any.
Answer:
1. For your Anti-Virus……(Always use only 1 A-V…You must NEVER use more than one anti-virus, Even an expired anti-virus can cause a major conflict… did I mention that you MUST uninstall any old anti-virus products?)
For your anti-virus needs, I would advocate Avast, the newist version 4.8. Avast now includes anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-rootkit components. And all for the low low price of free. You can get it here:

Avoid an anti-virus called AVG (free version). It is wildly popular with kids and the personal illiterate but has poor virus detection rates.

2. For your Anti-Adware and Anti-Spyware needs……………(use at least 1 anti-spyware, but 2 is OK). Do a scan with it on a regular basis.

3. For your Firewall……….(Always use only 1 software firewall)
A decent free firewall is PC Tools Firewall Plus. One can either choose “Normal User Mode” Or “Expert User Mode”'depending on the detail of alerts and application custom rules desired.
It is one of the few free firewalls that’ll work (and work well) on Vista as well as XP and 2000.

4. And to help protect your computer from ever getting infected with malware in the first place………… (use them both)
SpywareBlaster helps to immunize your computer again certain selected malware.:

SiteAdvisor warns you when visiting a potentionally malicious web-site:

5. And always keep your Windows and all your installed software 100% updated and patched with all critical and security updates from the vendors THIS IS A MUST! In World wide web Explorer just click Tools then Windows Updates.
Here’s a tiny online (no download) security tool called The Secunia Software Inspector, that checks a personal for un-secure, un-updated and un-patched apps that might be installed on your personal.
The Secunia Software Inspector checks for possibly vulnerable programs like Adobe, Winamp, Java, Windows, World wide web Explorer etc. and notifies if critical security updates are needed. !
Will work using IE, Opera or Firefox.
Use it once a month.
