For another source of protection switch your DNS server to opendns for
filtering on phishing websites.
I use the paid version of AVG at home and like that. I used Blink from
eeye but that kept requiring retraining after system crashes- it does have a
free month trial and protects you from virus
Any recommendations for an anti-virus suite (anti-virus, anti-spyware,
and firewall)? Looking for an all inclusive package that is user
friendly.

Richard,
I use Grisoft's AVG free version and am very happy with it. I laos use
Spybot Search Destroy an Lavasoft's Adaware.
I also run my web browser (Firefox) through DropMyRights as a limited
user. That avoids a lot of problems.

The anti-virus part is free. You just have to pay for the container.

The native firewall in Vista is more than adequate. It doesn't provide
alerts for outgoing traffic, but I discovered that most people were just
clicking allow - allow - allow - allow without much forethought as to that
it was they were allowing (and most of the alerts are still cryptic anyway).
I switched from Norton 2003 to Avast and it seems to work well. I have
dialup via ATT via proxy accelerated ...do I need ZoneAlarm really? For
spyware, I run Adaware periodically. Spybot doesn't ever seem to find
anything, but has the immunization feature.

No, it sounds like you have everything covered. Zone Alarm Security
Suite is just a good all in one solution if you are starting from
scratch and or want everything taken care of automatically/
transparently (the firewall which can be verbose, also can be set to
non-verbose)
When using
You can try Eeye's Blink free for a year and only $25/year after that.
It does the firewall, antivirus and antispyware all in one. It also
goes after things that act badly but aren't on the black list for
viruses and spyware yet.

At least with Zone Alarm you will know what programs on your computer
