What's the best protection for a computer?

I'd like to know the best of each. Like best internet security, best antivirus, best antispyware, best antispam, best firewall... Don't tell me to install everything I find, I want to protect my computer without turning anything about it into a turtle.

Protecting your computer is simple, easy, and inexpensive (or even free). Just use the programs below.

For internet security: use Mozilla Firefox (free, mozilla.com) as your web browser. It is not only more secure than Internet Explorer, but much faster, easier to use, more customizable鈥?the list goes on.

For antivirus: you can use AntiVir (free, free-av.com). I use Norton on my main computer, but it isn鈥檛 free. Other free options include AVG and Avast. You should also occasionally scan your computer with Trend Micro HouseCall (free online virus scanner, housecall.trendmicro.com), just to be safe.

For antispyware: use Ad-Aware (free, lavasoft.com). It will protect you from spyware and adware.

To reduce spam: use Mozilla Thunderbird (free, mozilla.com) as your email client and/or Yahoo Mail as your web based mail. Thunderbird can block most spam easily using it鈥檚 鈥渕ark as junk鈥?function, and can pretty much block the rest using it鈥檚 message filters.

For a firewall: use ZoneAlarm (free, zonelabs.com).
