Here is a package that protects me and my neighbor. I haven't been infected in 5 months, and since I put it on his computer, he hasn't been infected in 3 months. He likes to download **** and it still protects him. Best of all everything is Free and work as good and better than pay packages.
Download the latest Java Update 7. Then remove any older versions from your computer.

Go here and download the following programs: All will be in the first 3 red boxes.

Firewall. - If you have XP with SP2 then use the existing Windows firewall. It is excellent. If not then download Zone Alarm free version.
Anti-Virus program - If you have one then use it or replace it with one of these: AVG 7.1 or AVAST
Anti-Spy programs: Use more than one. None can catch all the garbage out there: Windows Defender Beta 2, Spybot Search and Destroy, AdAware SE Personal.
This program will work with the AV and AS programs and add an additional layer of protection and it really works great.

Install Yahoo Toolbar with pop up blocker and anti spy! If you don't mind spending a few dollard then check out Webroot's Spy Sweeper! In all the programs I've used this is one of the better ones!

I would without hesitation recommend Spybot Search and Destroy. It is the only spyware/adware program that also identifies and removes trojans.

I would use both Ad-aware and Spybot Search and Destroy.
