Threads like these do exist ... anyway ...

Anti Spyware (use em all)

Spybot S&D
Adaware
Spyware blaster

Firewalls (use just 1)

Zonealarm
Kerio personal firewall
Sygate
Outcast

Registry cleaner (using more than 1 isnt likely to help)

MS Regclean
Easycleaner

All are available for free. BTW, registry cleaners are useful, as windows doesn't handle the registry too well ... even after software is uninstalled, its entries are present in the registry. This registry is loaded into memory on startup, so the bigger it is the slower your system. Thats why a fresh formatted system performs faster.
