After doing loads of research a couple of years ago I forked out for KAV and Outpost as, in my research these two products sounded like the best AV and firewall available. What I didn't realise at the time was that they didn't play well together and required far more time to harmonise than I was prepared to spend. I have just gone for a complete reinstall of XP and I'm starting afresh, and this time, I'm going free-free-free.
I have currently opted for:
AVG Antivirus, which seems fairly unobtrusive and has good reviews. I may be wrong but I think it also incorporates Ewido now.
Online Armor Firewall. I love the simple GUI - it seems simple enough for me to understand! Not like Outpost which I just couldn't get on with.
Spyware Terminator - seems to do a good quiet job
Firefox Web browser - IE is painful after using FF
Noscript - I like it but my girlfriend gets fed up of manually allowing or forbiding bits and pieces. A set of filters like those available for Adblock for the most common sites would be good...
Sandboxie - a new program for me. I love it - like all my favourite solutions it seems like a simple and comprehensive solution.
I haven't had any compatibility problems at yet using these all in conjunction.
I was wondering if anyone had any other recommendations or preferable combinations.
