Almost all software are Vista compatible now. Following are y recommendations:

Anti-virus: avast! or AVG in FREE and NOD32 or Kaspersky in PAID
Antispyware: No need. "Windows Defender" is good.
Firewall: No need. Vista in-built firewall is good enough.
Multimedia software: WMP11 rocks.

And all other common software, like firefox, WinRAR, 7-Zip, Winamp, IDM, FDM, FlashGet, Opera, Maxthon, Safari, etc are Vista compatible.

In codec Pack, I'll recommend "Combined Community Codec Pack". I faced a few problems in K-Lite Codec Pack in Vista, so I tried this new pack and its really cool. :)

I shall go with the above but no harm if you add Lavasoft adaware 2007 and Spyware terminator which are free and good.

And if you use IE, then IE Pro will do the job and for Firefox there are lots of extensions. :)
