The best antivirus program according the testing labs is ESET's NOD32. The best spyware programs are Spybot and Adaware(both are free) and for active x Spywareblaster(free), these are all available from http://wilders.org. Make sure that you also have a decent firewall, Sygate, Kerio, Zone Alarm, Outpost all are good ones.

NOD32 can be found at http://www.nod32.com/home/home.htm Mozilla will definitely assist you in keeping your browser secure and safe from spyware and browser hijacks. NOD32 as an antivirus program will not be changed by what browser you use.

Spybot S&D

Make sure to up-date it before using it.
1-Check for problems
2-Fix Problems
3- Immunize
Is real good and free

Avast! 4 home edition

Is the best AntiVirus program I've ever used.

If you need a simple solution, try mine. I try to give advise on things that have happened to my PC. Changes in registry can be FATAL! Glad to have a chance to help you.
