Hello,
My cousin has brought a new PC. Looking at all the threads, I have told him to downloaded a firewall(zonealarm), antivirus(avast) and an antispyware(adaware) on his PC.
But I would like to know if there is any particular order or sequence in which the 3 should be installed so that no compatibility problems arise?

Install anyway. it will give probs. but for protection, install avast first and update it and don't use zonealarm. its incompatible with avast. instead use comodo.

*www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/

install avast 1st so that if any other pacakage has a virus, it will prevent you from installing. be sure to download avast from its real site instead of a download mirror like download.com
