Yes - just about anything else 
Ahem.
Right - composure.
If you want to pay, Kaspersky is probably the best. NOD 32 is worth looking at but I'm not sure if they do an all in one program.
For free, combine several programs for all round protection.
The three main AV contenders, for free, are: Antivir; Avast; AVG.
Adaware, Spybot, Windows Defender are some of the programs to take care of Adware, trojans and the like.
You needn't pay a penny and have some very strong defense against nasties.

Alright, just re-read it.
Tune-up? Define tune up? A defrag and using Crap Cleaner. There ya go - tuned
Backup? I do believe Windows has a system restore point (which is basically all that Symantec/Nortons does, but uses a helluva lot more resources to do it). Other than that use Acronis True Image to backup.

Still Unsure
Thanks for your reply
Can you elaborate a bit cos Im not very good with all this techie stuff. If I go for Kaspersky does this cover my PC totally apart from back-ups? If so I will get this and what do you think of Windows SkyDrive free back-up storage?

Anther vote for Kaspersky Internet Security (KIS7) here, and using Vista too. 
No, it don't "tune-up" or backup, but then I still ain't found any program that will do that effectively for MS.

Good evening learned colleagues, interesting comments here but I am sticking with Norton 360. I have been using it for ten Months now and haven't had any problems. I know a great many users don't like it but it works for me. I also use Windows Defender and Threatfire Pro. Regards to all,DD.
