You need a combo, not just one, as others have stated before.

I recommend these for a start:

Spyware Terminator for real-time protection:
http://www.spywareterminator.com/

MalwareBytes Anti-Malware as a complementary scanner
http://www.malwarebytes.org/

WinPatrol is also a necessary companion in order to discover unwanted
activity:
http://www.winpatrol.com/

I always install Multi AV Scanning Tool for my "clients"(family and
friends).
It's an easy to use malware removal utility with multiple command line
scanners including McAfee, Sophos, Kaspersky and Trend engines. Note that
TrendMicro will not work until version 7 is issued.

I agree. Just be aware that with the Malwarebytes program if you delete
any of the language files, the program won't run. At least it wouldn't
the last time I used it (about five months ago.)

John Corliss BS206. I block all Google Groups posts due to Googlespam,
and as many posts from anonymous remailers (like x-privat.org for eg.)
as possible due to forgeries posted through them.

No ad, CD, commercial, cripple, demo, nag, share, spy, time-limited,
trial or web wares OR warez for me, please. Adobe Flash sucks, DivX rules.

For Realtime protection, I use Avast & SpywareBlaster.
I am used to the Avast free reregisting every 14 months, for any
computers I work on during the week ( usually 2 or 3 ) I install
Microsoft Security Essentials, no registration required.

For computers that are already infected, Malwarebytes is the 1st
program I run.

If it won't run, rename the downloaded mbam-setup.exe file to mb.exe to
help work around certain malware that will block it from being run.
If it still will not run.
1: Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features and uninstall
Malwarebytes.
Next redownload Malwarebytes but rename it before you download it to
your desktop. As you are in the process of downloading when you get to
the point that the "enter name of file to save to" box appears, in the
"filename" slot, rename mbam-setup.exe to something.exe, then click
Save.
If it installed but will not run, navigate to this folder:
2: C:\Programs Files\Malwarebytes' AntiMalware
At the top of the page, Tools > Folder Options > View, click > Show
hidden files and folders and untick > Hide extensions for known file
types.
Rename all the .exe files in the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware folder and
try to run it again.
When it opens, update 1st.
If it won't update after installing, update manually.

Download & install.
