I have used both Kaspersky and Norton on previous computers and this one, but when subscriptions ran out I decided to try out AVG (the free version) and it's just as good, not to mention it saves money...

Nod32

From Wikipedia,
NOD32 is written largely in assembly code, which contributes to its low use of system resources and scanning speed. NOD32 can process more than 23MB per second while scanning on a P4 based PC and, on average, uses less than 20MB of memory in total. The physical RAM used is often just a third of that.

According to a 2005 Virus Bulletin test, NOD32 performs scans two to five times faster than other antivirus competitors.

and ZoneAlarm Suite as a firewall.

Anyone can suggest a Vista-friendly AV software that's available free?
