True to all.

1.Windows XP SP2 and Vista have a built-in firewall which is switched on by default. So yes, in e.g. the USA / UK most people probably use a software firewall, although the in-built Windows firewall is pretty poor. Firewall leak-test results: http://www.matousec.com/projects/windows...



2.Nearly all anti-virus programs find and remove not just viruses but also other malware, i.e. spyware in its various forms. However, according to AVG their free anti-virus program only detects actual viruses: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/us/frt/0



3. Broadly, yes.
1) Seeing microsoft now has an inbuilt firewall in their latest OS's, i'd say thats a yes.



2) Depends on what antivirus software, AVG can do both spyware and virus removal.



3) Advertising that is integrated into software. so depending on how you want that answered, Adware could be downloaded automatically from the net into the host software.
