If you want a descent firewall ( its free BTW) goggle Sygate personal firewall I think they still let you have it free. BUT for spyware and adware, a good free one is Super Anti Spyware, I've had it for about 6 month snow and I uninstalled AD Ware SE pro because of it, Super Anti Spyware works better than most of the ones I've tried, and trust me I've been on the net since the first virus, ad, and tracking cookie.
