My computer has problem of getting infected with all kinds of ad-software and bugs. I use McAfee viruscan and windows firewall with sp2. What other programs are most effective in helping ensure that garbage doesn’t get loaded onto my computer or that my registry gets all messed up? Thanks for your help and God bless!
Try EWIDO http://www.ewido.net/en/ it is one of the top antitrojan/antispyware programs. Free version only offers on demand scanning…use Windows defender for real time scanning along side it. Also use Spybot S&D http://www.safer-networking.org/ and try Ad-aware: http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
Use more than one scanner as one alone is not enough to protect you computer. Use only one in real time though…using more than one real time scanner will cause conflicts when they find something. all the above are free for personal use
there are several out there that are good,
if you go to download.com they have a top 10 list for best antispyware protection
look for :
microsoft antispyware beta 2
google pack contains a 6 month free trial of norton antivirus
ad-aware is well known
spybot is good too

I’ve been using http://www.adaware.com and it works well. You can download it for free and it will remove all kinds of malicious processes from your system, incl. your registry. We also use this program at work.
Good luck!

spybot/spysweeper have always been really reliable with very good free trial versions.
