Kasperski Internet Security is also a very stong defense for your PC.
I used this firewll/antivirus/antispyware for about 2,5 years and had not a single problem.

Unfortunately its not for free, but in my opinion its worth it.

I use NOD 32.
works fine for me, I at one time was doing fresh installed every 30days cause I could not get a virus firewall that was worth a damn. for the past 2 years with NOD I have never had a problem.

I use Nod32 for antivirus, Malwarebytes for spyware and antivirus and Agnitum Outpost for my firewall. I like Malwarebytes because it catches some things that Nod isn't much interested in, and I like Agnitum because it's fairly unobtrusive, unlike some of the other firewalls I've used. And I use all three because the hard drive on my other laptop got eaten when I only had Nod32 by itself.

Though I learned how to replace a laptop hard drive, which was kind of fun, I don't want to make a habit of it.

The firewall have saved my a** more than once. A lot of software like to "call home" from time to time. With a firewall you'll be notified when it tries, and you can stop it.
