Answer 1

For your anti-spyware needs:
Here you are:

Pick and choose at least 2 from the list below. New spywares are created literally hourly, so no single anti-spyware can really detect all malware. Have at least 2 on hand and alternate scanning with each every few days or so. All are free. All can remove as well as detect.

Spybot Search and Destroy:

Ewido:

Adaware SE:

A-Squared:

Windows Defender (Beta 2):

Unfortunately, many "paid for" anti-spyware products are in fact either of limited usefulness or downright scams. When in doubt, look at the list of rogue anti-spyware solutions listed here:

And to protect your computer from ever getting infected with spyware in the first place, you can use these 2 freebies:

For your anti-virus needs:

Here is a list of all the major free anti-virus programs:

AOL AntiVirusShield:

AVG:

BitDefender 8: (on-demand only, no real-time protection)
http://www.bitdefender.com/PRODUCT-14-en--BitDefender-8-Free-Edition.html

Clamwin: (on-demand only, no real-time protection)

All are fairly mediocue compared to some of the top rated (paid) anti-virus programs such as Kaspersky (KAV) or Eset NOD-32. But you can't beat the price.

For a free firewall:

Comodo is a free and excellent firewall choice. Much better than ZoneAlarm. Comodo passes firewall leak tests that the others can't.
