Best Firewall + Anti spyware + Anti virus combo

[taviow]

I really want to know what is the best Firewall + Anti spyware + Anti virus combo to protect myself from some friends I feel like I can't trust anymore. Let me tell the story:

I have two friends, I'm going to call them Friend 1 and Friend 2. I usually talk to Friend 1 every day, but I almost never talk to Friend 2. But Friend 1 and Friend 2 talk a lot. Looks like Friend 1 doesn't know much about computers from what I observed. Friend 2 has some hacking skills. Now, Friend 2 has been talking a lot to Friend 1 about keyloggers and many things related to hacking. Friend 2 is not teaching Friend 1 anything about hacking, I suspect he is trying to hack Friend 1's runescape account as he is a high level or whatever I don't know because I don't play that game. Friend 2 keeps sending strange links to Friend 1 and strange programs, and keeps telling him to download keyloggers because they are good or whatever. I even explained to Friend 1 what exactly a keylogger is, but he says they are good for your computer for whatever reason. I keep warning Friend 1 not to trust that guy, but he likes Friend 2 to the point that he trusts him completely. Friend 1 had his msn hacked two times (at this point it's quite obvious Friend 2 is hacking Friend 1 a lot, but he won't believe me). Friend 2 tries to send me links and programs sometimes but I never accept. Friend 1 accepts everything Friend 2 sends, I warned him that's stupid but he won't listen. Whatever, I'm saving myself from Friend's 2 evil hacking skills.

That's why I need help. I currently have Zone Alarm + Spybot search and destroy + avg free. I don't think that's good enough, is it? Any recommendations?

Lets call friend #2 as "Not so much friendly bastard".

Key-logger is system hooker and backdoor Trojan, that logs every Keystroke of friend #1. Friend #2 is a bad, bad man, therefore, not welcome. (IMHO)

If friend #1 has hi-speed connection most ISP like Comcast will offer you a security suite for free, as long as you pay your bill.

Once your friend #1 installs it, your friend #1 will be able to track friend #2's ass down to where he/she hacked from, and friend #1 should inform the authorities, and have friend #2 to be someones bitch in jail.

Good Luck.

That does look like a lot of fun. :O

Edit: Unfortunately Friend #1 is very stupid because he won't believe anything I say about keyloggers and Friend #2. He trusts him completely. Oh well, I'm just going to try to save myself by installing better Anti spywares etc, if he eventually tries to hack me. But I don't know which programs I should download :O

Your Zone Alarm, Spybot and AVG are good enough, though you may try Comodo firewall, it's necessary to mention that there's a very reliable specialised anti-keylogger PrivacyKeyboard(I haven't found a better anti-keylogging application), NOD is quite helpful.

To tell the truth in your situation the most suitable means of protection is kicking that(please excuse my language) assholes ass

The best? How about yourself.
