Try Spyware Doctor. It has antivirus and antispyware included in there. For a registry cleaner I like Regcure. Find these programs at http://www.spyware-review.net
Best of luck,

You need both Anti-Virus and Anti-Spy/Malware (AV/AS) solutions for complete coverage.
As to the FREE products, Avira’s Antivir has a detection rate of over 99%, includes “root-kit” protection, and uses less system resources. Avast detection rate is around 97.8% and includes “root-kit” protection. Avast Anti-Virus is good if people suggest that, Avira is just slightly better.
Many people praise AVG, but AVG’s detection rate is less than 85% for Script Malware and General Malware, and does NOT include “root-kit” protection in the FREE version…plus, slower scan speeds and a higher number of “false positives”.
A good FREE AV/AS mix could be Avira or Avast, with Malwarebytes and AdAware). Or, a good BUY/FREE AV/AS mix could be Kaspersky or Nod32, with Malwarebytes and AdAware).
I’m also considering the new VIPRE as a possible BUY next time based on early reports.

I have used Zone Alarm Firewall, I have also got superantispyware and Malwarebytes. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans Hackers etc. I have just changed to Avast antivirus and all seems good so far. Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from http://www.download.com/ I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps
