(Soft) Firewall and Antivirus

Very often I have been asked what kind of firewall and anti virus I should use on my windows computer.
Well, there is a plethora of software available, this is the very short list I usually recommend.

Friendly reminder: do not install two antivirus at the same time:

- AVG free (a good anti-virus) http://free.avg.com

- ClamWin (an opensource anti-virus) http://www.clamwin.com/

- Comodo (a good alternative to the default that comes with windows) http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/

What next ? Well I think during the past last years I have collected few good either free or opensource software for various tasks, I will post them soon here.
