Keep in mind that there is such a thing as too much...
My favorites are Spybot and Ad-Aware for spyware but im also hearing good things about microsoft's anti-spyware program. AVG is a good choice, stay with it. Usually a weekly cleaning is enough to keep you running smooth. Consider a decent firewall, Zone Alarm seems to be a site favorite.
