There are various Lavasoft combinations of anti-spyware, firewall, and anti-virus packages, but I can't find any Lavasoft combinations that includes all three. And all combinations are more than $30. The free Zone-alarm and Avast are good programs. I have free AVG for anti-virus, but others have reported update problems with it, and have gone to free Avast. I get a little nag screen when I boot up, but I can easily tolerate that for the savings.

I just recently switched from AVG and Zone Alarm to Clam Win Free Antivirus, free Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and the free Windows Defender. The ones I've recently switched to are the ones that the three TV stations in my area use, and all the radio stations do too.
