My Personal Recipe
At work:
I use Firefox for a browser with NoScript and AdBlock Plus running. For Noscript, being a little intelligent about not turning things on is required. There are some sites that I give up on trying to get everything to load.
We run Microsoft Security Essentials also. No major issues.
Secunia is awesome for keeping things updated.
At Home:
My laptop is not connected to the internet. Ever. Stuff I bring in on a usb stick is run within an isolator called Sandboxie (sp?)
When fixing other machines:
Start with mbam, then combofix (dangerous in untrained hands).
For the user that can't seem to make room on his machine, look for a small program called winderstat. It will show you where your space is going.

Spent 4 hours this morning running AVG tune-up and Malwarebytes. Freed up almost 8 gig after the 2 downloads. Guess uninstalling Firefox and a few other things didn't delete them like they are supposed to.

CCleaner (free) is also good for junk removal and registry cleaning. It's also good to defragment on a regular basis as well. I use Defraggler and CCleaner by Piroform.

I was at it so I just went ahead and did everything at once. I downloaded pale moon the other day and uninstaled firefox, and this morning I got a "very low memory" warning. Malwarebytes also found a couple bugs to delete. That scan took nearly 40 minutes.

I really felt like I was accomplishing something.
I could sit at the computer drinking beer, point at the moving blocks and tell the wife "Cant shovel snow now Im defragging the disk".

I kind of miss the old defrag program that gave you a visual representation of little blocks as it shuffled data around to the different sectors. I really felt like I was accomplishing something.
