Tony,

Unfortunately utilizing just one antispyware program doesn't cover all
the various malwares floating around the net.
Here's what's running on my system :

Microsoft AntiSpyware (works well, but is still in Beta)
AdAware SE
a² -FREE
Spybot

To help prevent drive by installations, Spyware Blaster works very well:

This page contains links to tutorials for all of the above :

Look under #7 for the tutorials.
