For basic security required by personal users, you require ONE anti-virus, ONE firewall and at least TWO anti-spyware. I have given the links to the best you can have for free, in each category. Get them all.
AVG(Download this : avg75free_432a904.exe): http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/...
a-squared Free(Download a-squared FREE): http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/down...
Windows Defender(only for genuine Windows XP): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...
Comodo Personal Firewall: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/...
To activate the real-time protection of Windows Defender, go to Tools > Options and tick 'Use Real Protection'. In case you don't have genuine Windows, you can use Spyware Terminator as a good substitute to Windows Defender.

Here are some security tips:
1.Never use more than one anti-virus or firewall. There is a good possibility that they will fight each other. However, you can use as many anti-spywares as you wish, provided you use the real-time protection of only one of them.
2.Always keep the real-time scanning of your anti-virus and any one of your anti-spyware active. This feature always runs in the background and scans every file before it is opened, warning you if the file has any attached malware to it. Real-time scanning is known by different names for different security software, so don’t get confused. The most popular ones are ‘Real-time protection’, ‘Resident shield’, ‘Virus / Spyware Guard’ etc.
3.Keep all your security software updated, and manually scan your computer for spyware every 4-5 days and for viruses every 8-10 days. Most security software imply the use of automatic daily scanning, which is unnecessary and slows down the computer.
