New build question !!!

[Webb]

Okay I've got this system which I'll put together next Tuesday with Vista 64-bit,my problem is I don't have any Virus software and/or Malwares to install.

There's any freeware virus/malware around for Vista 64-bit ( Not Shareware ) ? I just don't want to get a new build full of unwanted stuff on it.

Also there's any website/software to stress my rig to the max to see if everything is working fine at full power ?

Thank you

there is AVG

and for spyware there is Windows Defender, Spybot and Ad-aware

NOD32 isn't free, but I certainly recommend it.

Any feedback on a good firewall ?

I found Comodo quite good but it was a little bit of a resource hog.
