Hi there Jacktro

The best advice i can give is to read this post: Recommended software by GTG

It gives you a great list of what to use and why

And you really only need 1 of each type of software, 1 firewall, 1 Antivirus, 1Antispyware the rest is often causing conflicts which each other and as such can be more harmfull then helpfull.
