Threat Fire is PC Magazine Editor's choice for year 2007 & 2008 free anti-virus that is most effective.

ThreatFire's patent-pending ActiveDefense technology offers protection against all types of internet threats - both known and unknown - spyware, adware, keyloggers, viruses, worms,  Trojans, rootkits, buffer overflows, and other malware.

Answer 15

Different Programs have Different Duties.

Now with Spyware in my opinion there are 2 extremely good programs.  One of which is Spybot and other is Windows Defender.  The good thing about these 2 programs is they will not cancel each other out.  But in reality they will work for a common purpose of removing Spyware.  What one program may miss the other one will catch.  

For Virus Protection programs I recommend Avast or AVG.   Running Spybot and Defender, with EITHER Avast or Avg (great Free virus protection programs ) will keep a computer in good working condition.

In addition I am now seeing a huge reference CCleaner and this is a fantastic cleaning tool to use. You should use that everyday single day as well.  

Links Below are Programs that WILL Help.

I have Both AVG and Spybot on my computer.

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 7.5.519

Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.5.2

Avast
