What programs do you guys suggest a person must have on his pc to check for all these Spyware , malware and other bad software that is terrorising our computers.
There are so many programs out there to choose from. I need to know what is the basic good ones that can be used.

I like MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware

As Cheeseball81 already said:

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.41

SUPERAntiSpyware 4.30.0.1004

After they're installed and updated, run a quick scan with them, then select and allow them to remove EVERYTHING they find, then restart your computer.

If you do this at least every 2 weeks, you'll keep spyware and malware in check.

You also need an anti-virus program running all the time. I use AVG Free on all my computers. Some other good ones are Avira, NOD32 and Kaspersky.

You should have only one anti-virus program, however it is ok to run with one or more anti-malware programs.

Thanks I do use AVG and have all my faith in the program.
