Here is a compilation of fantastic (and free!) software discussed on The Computer Guru Radio Show (Saturdays 12-2 on Tucson’s #1 News/Talk station 104.1 FM).  Please note you should never run more than one anti-virus on your computer but it is ok to have an anti-virus, anti-malware, and anti-spyware program running at the same time.
