I use the same combo as Understudy, my computer is 5 years old, and they've caught everything that's tried to come through.

I like the browser Firefox with its plugin Adblocker.
AVG Free Edition and its AVG Ant-Rootkit Free.
Lavasofts AD-AWARE (CAREFULL there are several look-a-like progams that are DANGEROUS!)
SPYBOT Search and Destroy

my free choices are
Avast for anti-virus
SuperAntiSpyware for malware and spyware

I dont use these anymore because I went ahead and bought Kaspersky Internet Security Suite 7.0, just want more protection than free stuff...
