For free antivirus I really like how AVAST! works on my daughter's laptop, it doesn't require a lot of resource, and does a nice job of updating.

For $ anti-virus NOD32 or Kaspersky.

SuperAntiSpyware is great for adware/malware and they have both free and $.

Firewalls: Comodo which free and has a great track record.

Just Google these and you'll find them.
