AD-aware is ace at getting rid of spyware etc.

get Firefox

firefox is an alternative browser to ie it has a built in pop up killer and isnt affected by spyware as IE, i highly recommend firefox

As well as Ad-Aware, you should run Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html

Then ditch Internet Explorer and run Firefox instead -
http://www.mozilla.org/

And Antivir is a good free antivirus -

AVG anti virus is another good free virus scanner

if your looking for a firewall as well theres a free version of sygate available. which is the best youll get without paying money
