Try ZoneAlarm firewall + antivirus. I use it and it works great

ZoneAlarm + WHICH antivirus?

ZoneAlarm & AVG are a good combo, but stay away from McAffee. Kaspersky is the clear choice. It updates more often, they have faster response times to new viruses, and the size of the updates are smaller than McAffee, Symantec, TrendMicro, and all the other big-name players. I work in a computer shop. We've been selling customers McAffee for a long time, and guess what? No viruses! We just got setup w/ our own eStore too. Check it out here:

I HIGHLY recommend the 2-year Personal Security Suite. It costs less than $3/month!!!

By the way, the personal security suite includes the Anti-Virus, the Anti-Spam, and the Anti-Hacker which is their firewall.

Wow, talk about a typo... Meant to say we've been using Kaspersky with no problems

mcafee is rubish, from statistics kaspersky is the best antivirus solution, but i use avg its light on the system, super fast, and free, i like it more than kaspersky personally
