I reccomend: Kerio/Sygate/Zonealarm for a firewall.
AVG/NOD32 (Pay) for a antivirus
Spybot and Adaware for spyware scanners
Spyware Guard for a running spyware blocker
Either the google toolbar, or mozilla firefox (etc..) for popup blocking

(I use a slight variation of that myself).

Edit: I use Mozilla Thunderbird for filtering the very slight stream of spam I get (only 1 or 2 pieces a week.)

To stop spyware, you should also install SpywareBlaster, IE Spyad, spyware block list file and a HOSTS file.
