For Anti-Virus I would recommend ESET Nod32 it protects against spyware, viruses, and malware you can find more information about that here: http://www.eset.com/products/nod32.php.
ESET makes another piece of security software called "ESET Smart Security", it has a software Firewall, more information about that here: http://www.eset.com/smartsecurity/ See below on my opinion about Firewall though.
For Firewall you don't really need one in my opinion as long as you have a router that has a Firewall you are fine, most routers have a hardware Firewall that protects against incoming traffic by pretty much denying everything it doesn't know about, Windows itself has it's own Firewall(software Firewall) built in that protects against incoming traffic(if you have Windows Vista it's Firewall has outgoing traffic but you have to enable it), a router is basically all you need in my opinion.
If you really want a software Firewall which protects against outgoing and incoming traffic I recommend Comodo which is free, while I haven't tried it myself I've heard many good things about it, you can find that here: http://personalfirewall.comodo.com/.
For Spyware I would recommend Spybot - Search&Destroy(Free), more information about that here: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html.
For Malware I would recommend Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware(Free for scanning), you can find that here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php.
