There is no foolproof product that can stop everything so a layered approach using a combination of firewall, antispyware and antivirus is the best. However, it would depend on the user's surfing and file downloading habits. If you don't take the time to scan downloads before opening them or click on unsolicited links, etc, sooner or later you will pick up something malicious.

Below are some products you may want to look at. All are free and, as such, you may be required to check for updates manually on a regular basis, enable new protections and run scans.

ZoneAlarm Free Firewall

Kerio Free Firewall

(Note: Use only one firewall)

====================

This is free and requires you to check for and enable updates manually once a week or so. It uses no system resources. It blocks spyware before it installs.
