I routinely use a couple of programmes that, together, seem to keep my system clear of all the real nasties (touch wood)!
TrojanHunter, marketed by Mischel Internet Security in the USA does a marvelous job of scanning for Trojans and the like. Costs $48 but has excellent update functionality.

Ad-Aware, by Lavasoft, is available in a single user, personal, version as a freebe.
Its great at detecting and getting rid of the data miners and such like. Again, a very good update function is provided.

Quite amazing the stuff that creeps onto your PC when you are not looking :-(
