There are three good, free, anti-virus programs I recommend:
AVG
Avast
Anti-vir
Also NOD32 from eset. It is very lightweight and highly effective. I do not recommend McAfee or Norton . They're just too bloated.
I recommend for fighting spyware:
Microsoft Defender (Vista, XP and W2K only)
Spybot Search & Destroy
AdAware
The best commercial programs are Spysweeper and Pest Patrol but I don't find they're particularly better
The best ways to fight spyware is not to get it in the first place. That means using Firefox for day-to-day surfing, avoiding music sharing programs, and being very careful when you visit web sites. Avoid allowing them to install software.
