This question comes up a lot here, and I'm surprised Yahoo doesn't have it in their FAQ. However, I keep my answer handy. These are tools I can recommend as reliable, having tested all of them within the last two months.
firewall:
Comodo (http://www.comodo.com), or
PC Tools (http://www.pctools.com/firewall), though Comodo will be a bit easier to use.
antivirus:
Avira (http://www.free-av.com)
AVAST! Home (http://www.avast.com)
AVG (http://free.grisoft.com)
all provide realtime protection and automatic updates.
antispyware:
Spyware Terminator (http://www.SpywareTerminator.com) or
Spyware Doctor (http://pack.google.com)
either one will give you good, realtime protection, along with
Ad-Aware Free (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad_a... and
Spybot S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/downl...
for additional removal ability.
Finally, a generic intrusion protection tool is a good supplement to the tools in the first three categories. The best one I've tested is System Safety Monitor Free edition (http://www.syssafety.com) which does a better job than most of the commercial intrusion prevention applications from major vendors.

The new version of Avira (Avira Free Antivirus 2014) it's for sure one of the best antivirus!!

Use a router and set strict access privileges there.
