The Comodo firewall is excellent. A look at any of the "Geek" computer security forums,such as Wilders: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=31
, will show that many of these security-freaks are now using Comodo firewall.
However, their A-V is new and well could use a bit of work. It lags badly in virus detection rates of all the free A-Vs.
A test was done recently at http://www.virus.gr/english/fullxml/default.asp?id=82&mnu=82. They tested 58 anti-virus app,both free and paid. Here is where the free ones scored in virus detection rates.
2. Active Virus Shield by AOL version 6.0.0.299 - 99.62%
7. BitDefender freeware version 8.0.202 - 95.57% (on demand only, No real time scanner)
11. AntiVir Classic version 7.01.01.02 - 94.26%
17. Avast freeware version 4.7.871 - 87.46%
24. AVG freeware version 7.1.405 - 82.82%
40. ClamWin version 0.88.4 - 51.23% (on demand only, No real time scanner)
46. Comodo version 1.0.0.4 - 41.02%
Anyway , enjoy!

I use comodo firewall it is great! It alerts you the second anything tries to access your computer or internet. Plus it has passed all of the leak test :)

if i recall the comodo prgram hasn't been updated in awhile (version), but i may be thinking of another one.
anyway it does appear to be a decent firewall, just make sure you have it configured right and do the shields up test at www.grc.com

I do not know about this. I can give a few links that offer free virus and spyware removers...! Norton, AVG , Avast are free antivirus software. Ad-aware, Ewido are free spyware removers. You can download free softwares at
http://fixit.in/antivirus.html and http://fixit.in/spywareremover.html

Define "good".
Each type of antivirus and firewall has its strengths and weaknesses.
