Spybot: Search and Sestroy is amazing and free, but its pretty big so it might slow down your computer. I think its worth it though

Spybot is pretty low grade actually :P ok maybe not low grade but it's decent to say the least. There's always Zooks idea, which is pretty good but my personal fave is Malwarebytes; very efficient. Only downside is that it's for manual use IE no alerts when a new version is out, when a virus invades your computer etc. Still it's quite useful.

Ad-Aware by Lavasoft - Antivirus software, free spyware removal, firewall + AVG Free - Download antivirus and antispyware software for Windows XP and Vista

Those are two great programs that work different ways, so your computer is pretty much fully protected.

Mcafee is slow as well.

Personally I like AVG 8.5 <3 It's efficient, it's fast enough, and it's pretty user friendly too
