    Plenty of good information in the following sticky thread:-

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=36497

    Plenty of free/next to free security utilities out there, most of which are listed on the sticky thread. The usual suspects are:-

    Anti-Virus (remember only run one A-V product at any time on a machine):
    1. AVG
    2. AVAST

    Personal Firewall
    1. Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall
    2. Zone Alarm Personal Firewall.

    Top that off with some spyware protection and you're covered:
    1. SpywareBlaster
    2. SpyBot Search and Destroy
    3. Ad-aware
