   There is no such animal, protection has to be done on multi levels !

   Here are my suggestions (and warnings) for free software (I tried all personally):

   Do not use more than one Antivirus on active mode (it is OK to have one active and others in passive (manual scan) mode), one "software" Firewall (no options there as war between them will shut down your communication system if you have more than one), one good cleaner, two or three Anti spyware/Malware (they each detect something that the others have not seen) and one Email scanner (if your Virus scanner does not include one) but have at least one of each (for security) as there is no excuse to leave yourself wide open.

   Cleaner suggestion:

   Glary Utilities: http://www.glaryutilities.com/gu.html to remove junk files, remnants of installs and clean your registry (there are other utilities too) .

   Do not use Ccleaner ( In my time at helping others, I have found it more destructive than helpful and I had to rebuild systems nuked by it in the past ).

   Virus scanners and Firewall:

   Avast is good but takes a lot of resources in the computer.

   If you need both Virus scanner and firewall, then the Comodo firewall http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/download_firewall.html is the top contender.

   Use it in combo mode (Antivirus/Firewall) at installation.

   The firewall itself is very robust and the just-released version 3 includes a well-designed intrusion detection system and Vista compatibility. Comodo also supports internet connection sharing, whereas the free versions of Kerio and ZoneAlarm do not.

   Make sure that you install it in "Advanced" mode, because the "Basic" installation has the HIPS ( Host-based Intrusion-Prevention System ) disabled.

   If you just want to use Comodo as a Firewall then for Virus scanning, use Avira instead http://www.download.com/Avira-AntiVir-Personal-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10322935.html?cdlPid=10901492 It is very light on resources and the detection rate of viruses and rootkits is outstanding.

   However, it does not include anti-spyware and anti-adware protection so add an Email scanner ( http://www.spamdel.com/ OR http://www.glenn.delahoy.com/software/files/Inbox.htm ) and see below for adware scanning.

   Anti-Malware/Spyware suggestions:

   Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware: http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?part=dl-10804572&subj=dl&tag=button is a good choice and has gotten many people out of jams if you keep it updated.

   Spybot: http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-amp-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10122137.html?tag=mncol is also a good choice if you use it regularly and keep it updated.

   And of course, NEVER have them working scans at the same time.

   When you scan, only the Firewall should be running alongside (in learn mode if need be).

   Use a methodic "one after the other" kind of scan !

   P.S.: DO NOT USE toolbars as they contain a form of spyware (even the ones from big names) and stay away (or get rid of) AVG (no good crap)

   I just make an image of a clean install of my OS, and simply reinstall every few months. You can’t really untangle a mangled Registry.

   When I used Windows and did a lot of Windows software fixes I always liked EZ Cleaner (http://personal.inet.fi/business/toniarts/ecleane.htm). Since I do not use Windows nor do repair work anymore I have not been keeping up — so there may be something better out now. One caution on registry cleaners, a lot of them will really mess up your system. Don’t just casually use them and always research before you use them. Some claimed registry cleaners are really just spyware or other malicious software.

   ccleaner is not meant to make deleted files unrecoverable. It is designed as a registry cleaner, and is the only reliable one I have found. for removal of files you are better to use a specialist program. Take a look at eraser.

   Most registry cleaner can do more harm then good.

   I would stick with ccleaner, that’s a safe program to use it’s a better disk clean up. But I would stay away from registry cleaners, unless you know a whole lot about computer and registry format I would not use them. Otherwise you could really mess up your system.

   But here is another disk cleanup like program that works real well. I use think one ATF cleaner.
