The following are recommended by the University Of Harvard Computer Science Division and all I use.
You must use ALL of them to overlap protection. But do not run 2 anti-virus at once because they will look like viruses to each other.
The best Anti-virus is: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. (www.grisoft.com)
The Best Spyware defense is: SpyBot Search and Destroy (www.spybot.info)
AND: AdAware SE (www.lavasoft.com)
AND Spyware Blaster (www.spywareblaster.com)
The best Firewall besides the one that comes with Windows is: Zone Alarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/co... or just (www.zonelabs.com) and select the FREE version.
These are all FREE and are all that are required. There is no reason to pay for this kind of software, except to give a donation to the writers if you can.
ALL the above programs are recommended and should be run on a regular basis. With some the free versions they must be run manually.
The best way to avoid getting any Malware (virus, Trojan's, spyware, etc) is to practice safe computing. Microsoft and many others have countless articles on the subject of safe computing. (something I think should be taught in schools)

Here are a whole bunch, totally free. Thank me later by voting me for best answer. ;^)
Incidentally, I currently use AVG, but I'm considering switching to COMODO, because AVG is becoming so passe... I don't like following the crowd.
