I think AVG might be good, which includes antispyware, there are two problems though, it uses a lot of RAM, about 50MB or so I think, and also gives false positives sometimes, one example, it deleted SP 3 installer for WinXP a while ago, detecting it as a malware
I switched to Avira free, which uses less resources, although it detects and scan for viruses only, for spyware you have to use other software along with it.

Interesting, it seems that Avira is not that good at shield protection, it looks like the three, Avira, AVG and Avast might have each advantages over the others and disadvantage over the others as well, hard to really say which one would be best, I have heard people claiming Avast being bad, especially with detection of Trojans, being poor.
