    Avast! is a good choice for an AV, personally I use AVG AV. Ad-Aware is good to be free but there are better programs for removal. If you want something free for protection I recommend Spyware Blaster and Spyware Guard. You also need a firewall, I recommend ZoneAlarm.

    Your Welcome!:)

    Be sure you only run one antivirus and firewall because running more than one will cause conflicts.
