Hi,
NOD32 provides a pretty decent anti spyware capability. but i believe others may say otherwise. Anyway, NOD32 users should look out for the new release of NOD32 (coming very soon) which I understand will boost its anti spyware capability.

For firewall, a good recommendation is Zone Alarm free version. It is pretty useful especally if you really need to know whats running around and in/out of the system plus its free. But i have read horror nightmare installs from some furom members here although i have never had problems with ZA....
