Wow, from your question I think your system is probably under protected.
First things first, you need a firewall and an anti-virus, but only ONE of each.
Now for the anti-malware programs. There are many good, free ones out there. But sadly one isn't enough and some work better in conjunction with others.
Here are some good ones that I use (and they all play nicely together! :) )
These two work better together than either of them does alone:
Spybot Search and Destroy
http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,22262,00.asp
Adaware
http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,22933,00.asp
a-squared (specifically deals with Trojans and worms etc.)
http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/
SpywareBlaster
http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,23106,00.asp
Ewido (After the two-week trial your left with the free version which is excellent.)

plus if you use Internet Explorer then I suggest]
IE-Spyad
http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,23332,00.asp
If you need an anti-virus program or a firewall, post back and I, as well as others here, will be happy to give you some recommendations.
Happy and safe computing!

SpyBot Search & Destroy is pretty good, and it's free.
The best place to get it is from the developer's site.
