SuperAntiSpyware (Anti-Spyware,malware,etc..|Free)

NOD32 is by ESET, Eset.com
Requires subscription, but VERY Reliable.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware by Malwarebytes,
Malwarebytes.org Free, but has a pro version[realtime scanner,etc]
You shouldn't need pro version if you manually scan your computer often.
SuperAntiSpyware by SuperAntiSpyware,
SuperAntiSpyware.com Free, but also has a pro version with extra features, realtime scanner, etc... It has an excellent detection rate.
ZoneAlarm Firewall Free OR Pro by ZoneAlarm,
ZoneAlarm.com
Free for well.. the free version. This firewall is very good, doesn't mess with your computer performance much. Overall a perfect fit for me.
CCleaner by Piriform,
Piriform.com
An amazing system optimizer/Cleaner tool which is recommended by many and is rated very high.
