I’m working with Vista too,
For Antivirus,AVG.
For Spyware,both Ad-aware 2007 and Spybot SD 1.51 are fine and working great.
to download these programs go to www,download.com
Try out some of these products to remove the viruses they are some of the best products norton takes up 80% of your computer so dont get that.

Comodo Firewall is very good if you know how to use it. I recommend Zone alarm its free for ever and its very easy to use and it does ask if you want to aprove to open everything, But thats normal.
A good anti-spyware would have to be one of the following : Ad-Aware 2007, AVG Anti-Spyware, CWShredder, Spybot Search And Destroy, Windows Defeneder, Spyware Blaster. I am pretty sure all these programs are free forever too.

Spybot Search & Destroy
Download Link http://filehippo.com/download_spybot_sea...
On the right hand side should be the green box then click download latest verison
——————————…
Those are pretty good suggestions. I highly recommend getting ad-aware 2007, you can also get as many anti-spyware downloads as you want only one firewall though.

Tools to Destroy Spyware
-Spy Sweeper
-SUPER-Anti Spyware
-CCleaner
Tools to Prevent Spyware
-Mozilla Firefox(Internet Browser)
[-AdBlock Plus(Cuts down on 99%of Adware)
-NoScript(I suggest that you use this if and only if you don't look ]-Mozilla Upgrades
at videos or games)
-Spy Sweeper (It saved my computer from a potential Spyware attacl a few months ago.)
-Turn off System Restore(From Control Panel)
I would bet every thing that this would get rid of ALL the crap on your computer. I had
-4,800 tracking cookies
-200+ spyware/adware
-40+ viruses
All Are Vista Compatible And Dont Take Alot Of RAM.
For Anti-Spyware Protection, You Already have Windows Defender. But Thats Not Enough Consider Installing Another Anti-Spyware i Recommend AVG Anti-Spyware.
AVG Anti-Spyware
Its Heaps More Effective Than Spybot And Adaware Combined !
With A More Powerful Scanner than Spybot And
8 Times More Signatures Than Ad-Aware, This Anti-Spyware Really Packs A Punch.
Don’t Be Fooled By The Trial Period.
For The First 30 Days It’ll Offer Full Protection Such As A Resident Shield.
After The Trial Period This Will Be Disabled But The Scanner Is Yours For Life.
So To Be Fully Protected, Scan And Update Atleast Once A Week.
Good Call. Prevention is better then cure . AVG is the best free antivirus. However for Spywares, I dont know yet. I have tried a couple, but not a lot of them have worked great for me. Checkout some reviews before you actually try the softwares. Trying / Installing sofwares and then removing them because they are not good, does more bad to your system files then anything else IMHO.
