This question is probaly stupid.
I just need your recommendations

Which antivirus program should use?
Which firewall should I use? (Please not ZoneAlarm)
Which antispyware/malware/adware etc. should I use?

FreshDiagnose
FreshUI
HijackThis 2.0.2
IIS 6.0 Resource Kit Tools
LiveUpdate Notice (Symantec Corporation)

697647 2008-08-16 06:24:00 Avast for free, comodo if you don't have an atheros NIC as found on some Asus mobo's as they don't work with it, XP SP3 if not running AMD gary67 (56)
697648 2008-08-16 06:41:00 Get rid of Norton/McAfee and disable Windows Defender.

Get Comodo Firewall 3

Get Avast Home AV

Get some of the tools from WT's sig.
