I just bought a new Laptop with Windows 7 64 bit and I'm not sure what protection to install. I can't afford the Norton that came with the system, I'm looking for freeware.

Did you check the freeware alternatives section on BC ? http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic366982.html

Additionally, the following are free security suites (firewall + antivirus) :
Outpost Security Suite 7.1 : http://free.agnitum.com/
Comodo Internet Security : http://www.comodo.com/home/internet-security/free-internet-security.php
