Which Security software do i need?

[ticktock]

Well, just wondering what security software would you guys recommend i use for my Vista 32bit system?

I suppose i need a good AntiVirus program, what else?

Any specific programs i should use? Avast has been mentioned but what about adware, spyware, malware etc?

I need to know what specific programs i need to keep my pc protected as i just had to reformat after getting Micro Antivirus, Antivirus 2009 etc

Any advice would be superb. Thanks

(Had AVG. That didn't protect me from the above!!)

Doesn't spybot pop up all the time with prompts?

So, i should install:

Avast
Spybot
Spywareblaster

This look ok to you all?
