I formerly had PC Tools' Spyware Doctor and Registry Mechanic, but the license has expired on those two and they no longer offer a discount price for getting both programs.
Can you steer me towards something equally good that I should look into getting? I'm looking for protection from spyware, malware, etc.
I'm not locked into getting a Registry cleaner, but would like to.
BTW, I use AVG's updated free version, so I feel I'm covered on the anti-virus front.
Any useful suggestions very much appreciated. Thanks.

alibaba told u the right thing to do, I personally have been using ccleaner for the past so many yrs now, also Ad aware is the other software which cleans the unwanted adwares, registry keys, or spyware. I use NOD 32 as my anti virus software.
I hope u indeed get ccleaner and ad aware as both these softwares r free and easy on the resources, since the softwares r not huge and r very easy to use it makes life much easier. Space consumption is less and hogging on memory is next to nothing, thus will not make ur PC slow either, nice utilities.
Try some of these. This is a list I have compiled of what I feel are the best free-anti-spyware/anti-malware websites. When I use them together on my system it does an excellent job in keeping it clean.

Ccleaner
http://www.ccleaner.com/
CCleaner (formerly known as Crap Cleaner) is a freeware utility which removes unused, unnecessary, and temporary files from all internet browsers and all applications supported. The utility also locates and corrects problems such as unused file extensions and application paths in the Windows registry, as well as clean up temporary files that Windows uses. CCleaner also assists with uninstalling applications and controlling what programs are to run at startup.
If you have windows xp with Service Pack2, you can download Windows Defender. It is a free download from Microsoft.com.
you should have the latest updates before you can download it, and genuine copy of windows xp SP2
I am also using Regcure registry cleaner in my other computer and only use it as a backup or to disable start-up items. i think it is 29.99/ year or maybe less. I forgot coz i subscribe for 2 years, and with 2yrs subscription, i saved $10. Well, it worked good for me.
