The Lavasoftusa.com link (AdAware) is good, BUT its also the most easily manipulated by rootkits if the attackers know you have it. AVG is free, and you get what you pay for. I use NOD32 and have for years, I have even as a DARE went to those "hacker" sites (they just fool people into thinking they are downloading pirated software and hacker tools, but you're the only one getting hacked!), "Adult" sites, and even went to URLs of phishing sites, and downloaded every attachment sent to my free email account. NOTHING got past it. Not bad for $39 your first year, $29 refills. can buy at newegg.com 2 years for $25 when its on sale (CD and jacket only, still full rights, just no book). I'd advise AGAINST the google toolbar, or ANY toolbar, especially for IE6 or below. Its best, if you care about security, to buy a new computer, and install NOD32 as well as a hardware-firewall router, and software router also. AND know you STILL arent safe. Read up on "proof of concepts" and "Blue pill". There are undetectable rootkits that exist even after a COMPLETE harddrive wipe and reinstallation of Windows. Yeah, I know, hard to believe. Blackhat Conferences, google it, read up :)
