I sure hope you're only on a trial of Stopzilla, 'cos it's junk. Check out these user reviews:

You need one firewall, one antivirus, some on-demand antispyware. For a firewall I would suggest either Zone Alarm free if you are rather new, or Comodo Firewall Pro if you have some computer experience (only one.):

Zone Alarm free firewall: http://www.zonealarm.com/store/catalog/p...

Comodo Firewall Pro v2.4 (*Not v3*): http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/

For an antivirus, I would suggest either Avira AntiVir, or Avast (only one):

Avira AntiVir PE Classic: http://www.free-av.com/

Avast 4 Home Edition: http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-...

*Stay away from AVG, it's detection rates are pretty weak compared to Avira and Avast..

For on-demand antispyware I suggest Superantispyware and Spyware Doctor Starter Edition:
