Clean Registry and Optimize PC
Stopping spyware (‘malware’) is more than a one-time inoculation, folks.
This is about a weekly habit of cleaning ‘nasty dust bunnies’
from your personal computer.
In much the same way you clean your home with your favorite broom
and your favorite cleaning solvents, you will also need good tools
to clean spyware out of your PC.

I use Avast now, I have also got superantispyware and Malwarebytes. I recently changed to Comodo firewall which seems fine and I seem to boot up quicker. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans Hackers etc. I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps
In response to the emergence of spyware, a small industry has sprung up dealing in anti-spyware software. Running anti-spyware software has become a widely recognized element of computer security practices for computers, especially those running Microsoft Windows. A number of jurisdictions have passed anti-spyware laws, which usually target any software that is surreptitiously installed to control a user’s computer. The US Federal Trade Commission has placed on the Internet a page of advice to consumers about how to lower the risk of spyware infection,
including a list of "do’s" and "don’ts."

It is not a very good idea to install more than one anti-malware (malicious software detection) software on one machine. Most anti-malware programs even perform a ‘system status’ check and do not proceed with installation if an analogous program is detected.
However, to ensure maximum protection, it would be wise to have one very good antivirus (Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 and AVG Internet Security 9.0 are the only ones that have impressed me personally) and one good anti-spyware/adware program (Malwarebytes, SuperAntiSpyware, Windows Defender) running on same machine.
A firewall and Automatic Updates should also be enabled to ensure maximum protection from malicious software. Also remember to update your antivirus as regularly as possible.
Have a happy New Year.
if you already have anti virus protection then add these two free tools to scan periodically
malwarebytes free edition
superantispyware free edition
they are just scanners but are very good at cleaning infections security software’s miss
