Avast is the best out there if you are looking for a free AV. I am using it (as to answer your question). I do not have any other firewall or malware/spyware detector or something like that...

I use only avast. I will not recomend AVG anyone out there cause it cannot detect most malware. I was infected twice while using it. and i don't really need firewall.

try this: Avast 5.0 Free + Zone Alarm (funky interface)/Comodo Firewall (good interface but tweaking required). also scan your system once with an updated A-Squared free, to get rid of any hidden malwares.
