Just to share what I use: 1. Ad-Aware SE Personal (free) 2. Spybot Search and Destroy (free) 3. Spyware Terminator (free - thanks for recommending this one) 4. CCleaner (free) 5. Tuneup Utilities (shareware - but I somehow managed to *ahem* get it fully working :p) 6. AVG Antivirus Free Edition (basic program, but doesn't tax my computer's memory, so to me, it's good). I prefer to use as much free programs out there as I can get, 'cos the rest which you, er, get to fully work (you know what I mean) aren't exactly reliable. Nanti suddenly tell you the serial number you've been using all the while isn't working anymore, please purchase new one, etc etc. I don't need that kind of hassle. I've been using the McAfee site advisor too, and it's worked well for me too. Simple programs, but they've worked for me thus far :) I’m really paranoid as well, and use quite a lot of programs to keep my PC “safe” (quotes because it’s never really 100% safe now, is it?).
