    try nod32..30 day trial but keygens are all over the net for it.
    avast home edition is a good one also

    spybot search and destroy

    adware

    Do not run more than one Av on a system. If you do you're likely to run into issues such as the applications fighting with each other over where a bad file should be quarantined, general system slowdown and potential file lock issues as each AV's real time scanner tries to read all the files you access - and that could be a hell of a lot of large files if you're starting an application.

    In general, bad idea.
