Hey..
I'd read a recent comparision chart.
It had rated Bit-defender as the best antivirus.
Personally, spyware doctor by PC Tools uses up too toooooo much memory. I personally prefer Spyware Terminator. Works just as well, is much more customisable (if dats a word) and has a far better updated database.
Firewall- Use Comodo Firewall Pro v3 (my 1st preference and one of the best out there for home use..even the Security Gurus might agree fully with me on that). Then theres Zone Alarm, which is just as good.
Hope this helps...
