PCTools products do get good reviews. The good thing is they have free versions of their products. They work great. Spyware Doctor from the Google pack is a must. I highly recommend it. I bought Webroots Spysweeper and spyware doctor finds stuff spysweeper does not. Having both is a perfect combo and I recommend running two anti-spyware products.

Its good to run two anti-spywares even if some extra resources are taken.
SuperAntiSpyware does an excellent job. AVG's full version gets great reviews.
Adaware

Microsoft Defender

AVG

Anti-Spyware for a cost.
Personally I bought Webroot's Spysweeper, their product is great and well worth the money. Watch Best Buy ads because sometimes it goes on sale for $10 to $15.
Webroot Spysweeper

PCTools Spyware Doctor

There are free anti-virus scanners availble. They work well. I like AVG and PCTools anti-viruses the best of the free anti-virus programs.
If you are not willing to spend money it is good to have some kind of anti-virus software
avg

avast

Avira AntiVir

For a Cost
This is my recommendation for anti-virus. Free are good, but they are not as accurate as the top paid anti-virus software
Top-Tier
Kaspersky

Nod32

The best free antivirus programs are AVG, Avast, and Avira.
The top 2 paid programs are BitDefender and Kaspersky (according to my survey of the most recent (2014) independent testing lab reports).
Best anti-Spy/adware software: SpyBot Search & Destroy and Adaware have long held the top slots in this regard, both for paid and free versions.

I suggest PC Tools Antivirus. It's free and has a nicer interface than AVG.
