anti-spyware:
spybot s&d (enable tea-timer when installing, it's awesome)
Spywareblaster, keeps the spyware out, this is the best there is. Some say it doesn't work so well but I have had it for maybe a month now and my anti-spyware programs haven't found a single spyware thingy.
spyware doctor, never tried but I heard that its good.
