Spyware / Malware

Windows Defender
(I'd recommend you keep this Vista basic spyware program enabled)

A-Squared Free - (make sure you download the free version. See link below)
a-squared Free (formerly a² free) Freeware! A2 is a free of charge Anti-Trojan, Anti-Worm, Anti-Dialer and Anti-Spyware Software - optimal protection

Spyware Terminator - free also, but I don't enable the Internet Protection option they call 'Web Security Guard'. I use McAfee's free 'Site Advisor' for that and keep IE's Phishing Filter ON.

ESET's Smart Security Antivirus - Includes Real-time Antispyware protection, a Personal Firewall, and an Anti-Spam module.
Antivirus Software - Eliminate Spyware and Adware with ESET NOD32 Antivirus

Registry Cleaners

CleanMyPC Software's Registry Cleaner
CleanMyPC Registry Cleaner - Official Site of CleanMyPC Registry Cleaner

WiseCleaner's Registry Cleaner 3
WiseCleaner.com - Downloads

Hope this helps.

Kind regards

Neil
