An Article by CybernetNews.com says:

There is nothing like using free software to protect your computer, but people are constantly asking me which tools they should use on their PC to keep them safe. Most people who are not familiar with free software assume that it can’t protect their computers as well as commercial alternatives, but in many instances that is not the case.

This article has several purposes, and the main one is to demonstrate the wide range of free security software that is available for you to use. The second purpose is to find out what all of you use! After each section (anti-virus, anti-spyware, and firewall) you’ll see a poll that is there for you to vote on which one of the applications you use on your computer. This will greatly help people looking for free alternatives to programs because they’ll quickly be able to see what are the most popular applications.

The third purpose is to point out which programs have officially declared themselves as Vista compatible. Green text means that the software is Vista compatible.

So look through the software below and click on a screenshot if you want to see what that program looks like…
