best commercial anti-virus/anti-spyware (or anti-malware) = Eset Nod32 3.0
best free anti-virus = avast 4.7 home edition.

Depends on how you want to load it up. Besides what coknuck has, I also have AVG aniti spyware, windows defender, ad-aware, superantispyware free, vcleaner, and spyware blaster. And I run the 64 bit edition. And yes it all works together fine.  Very Happy

Im running Avira AntiV with Webroot SpySweaper. Also I got NoScript and FlashBlock for FF3, so yea im all set on my end. NOD32 is great just not very user friendly with the UI. AVG is good as well just that for some reason looking at the new version kinda irritates me, dunno why.
