Wanting list of any good software that protects against spyware, adware, or viruses (etc) Good firew

before you post, please don't just search on google and give me the top response, thanks :)

I just want software that you have used before, that you think is good and should be shared, that sort of thing.

I would prefer to have it be free, but if its just that good, you can list it if it costs money.

I would also like to know some features about it as well, like avg anti-virus has on demand scanning and free updates, like that.
