    I'd just use Avg and Superantspyware, think using Spybot too is a bit of overkill, plus i find it slows down your system too much.

    For firewalls try Zonealarm which should work on 2000 and it's free.

    I just use Norton Internet Security for All of the above (AV, Firewall, anti-spy) but I keep spybot and ad aware on the machine for the occassional system scan, typically turning up squat, at worst a false-positive tracking cookie.
