Good free Full Security Suite

There's a free program that generates random keystrokes if you are concerned about a keylogger. It scrambles the strokes and makes such software useless. I found it a while ago and its is free for personal use: http://www.qfxsoftware.com/Download.htm

Another neat program is proof against data mining that can build a profile of you by aggregating data from web sites and searches you initiate. It generates random words to take the place of actual search terms you may use.

I use both with Firefox, so can only speak to that browser.
 
I just want to be able to go onto websites and not worry about hackers, spyware and all that kind of crap. I'm running windows 7.
 
I tried several free anti virus programs recently and I found AVAST to be quite good. As usual you have to spend some time going through all the preferences and tuning it up the way you want it. I used to use an "on demand" setup, but these days you need something that catches stuff while you're browsing. I also use a router and an old software firewall. The software firewall is mainly to keep an eye on my programs getting frisky.

edit: I liked the 4.8 version. I tried the 5.0 "updated" version and didn't like it much. Went back to 4.8.

This is Keyscrambler. The free version also covers MSIE as well. The pro version apparently covers damn near anything you can enter text into, but they want $50 or so for it.
 
There is no free suite for all of it.

Firewall--pick one

Comodo (for techies) or Zone Alarm (for non-techies)

anti virus-- pick one

AVG, avira, avast

Spyware--pick two, the first two are currently preferred.

superantispyware, malwarebytes, spybot, adaware
