And in addition to the items mentioned by Mike Hall, Ken Blake, and
Jupiter Jones you need to get the occasional "second opinion" because
no antivirus or antispyware product is perfect and things occasionally
get past even the best of them.

So about once a month, and more often if you think your computer is
not performing quite as it should you need to do a free online scan
from one of the following sites:
Trend Micro http://housecall.trendmicro.com
Kaspersky Online Scanner http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner
Panda ActiveScan http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan
WindowSecurity.com TrojanScan http://windowssecurity.com/trojanscan
Webroot http://www.webroot.com/

Good luck
