Avg antyspyware used to be accessible. Also spybot search and destroy. Zonealarm was pretty accessible the last time I used it. All of these have free versions. Zonealarm was about the only firewall I found that was accessible at all. Each one of those programs take a little tinkering. Avg antispyware has active protection during the first month. It cost quite a bit, (something like $40 per year) to keep the active protection after that first month.
