I'm not saying don;t use the other programs, in fact totally the opposite and keep them totally upto date with regular scans but most bot nets are that new that AV's just dont find them and a firewall won;t stop them from installing but will stop them from communicating.

Yes, of course, and using the standard Windows Firewall would probably be more than good enough. Though if the OP was looking for something separate, I would recommend the free version of
Zonealarm, though running lots of separate software can be a pain in the backside. Which is why these security suites such as Norton (personally hate that one) and McAfee are increasingly popular.
