Comodo Firewall Pro v3.

It's pretty like ZoneAlarm, but with Vista x64 support and overall runs well with any software.

Then, Spybot S&D.

For AV: AVG or AVAST!

My B-A-D! I didn't know N.I.S. was so bad. Please enlighten me!

I've figured out I.E. is bad and I use FF! Also, I now use OpenOffice. What other advice do you have oh great one?

Actually, since I'm looking for a new firewall, I can only recommend Comodo, if you're looking for free ones.

It's the only one I've found that is good and supports 64-bit Vista.

As for virus protection, both AVAST and AVG have 64-bit versions that work well. AVG is a little less resource intensive during a scan than AVAST is and faster.

If you're a college student, like me, Office 2007 isn't bad. It's a refreshing update to the past versions.

Free is great, also I can afford to pay for a GREAT one.

If you don't mind paying, NOD32 is the antivirus I use, and got it from Newegg for $20 on sale. It wins in a lot of review tests, while norton usually comes in down on the bottom of the list next to McCaffie, or how ever you spell it.
Also Kaspersky is another top rated one that comes in the top 3 in tests, but costs money ($60 the first year, and $30 each after that).
