    AVG is the way to go.
    As for a firewall, I suggest Sygate personal firewall.
    Better than zonealarm, more networking functionality, and it doesn't candy coat crap. It's a geek's firewall.
    It also notices application hijacking.
    I've also noticed the amount of system resources varies. If you're doing a 600k/256k transfer, it can suck up your processor up to a third. If you're not doing anything network wise, it uses 01% of your processing power.

    AVG Free Edition
    Spybot Search and Destroy
    Adaware

    All free from download.com

    I've been using Adaware and AVG for years, and I like Spybot. This computer genius I know swears by these, and now I do too.
