AVG Free Advisor - Free antivirus and anti-spyware downloads


I've been running this program for the past 2-3 years with no infections or problems caused by the program itself.

Good point. I'm not personally familiar with Avast (I've only heard good things about it though), but I have been using the free antispyware program also by AVG for the past few months. So far it's been doing a good job. For a firewall, I've been using Sygate's free personal firewall for quite some time now.
