Isn't that what the internet is all about? Overflow with information?
My personal spyware + virus protection is:
Spywareblaster
Find it here
Adaware SE Personal addition
Find it here
Spybot S&D
Find it here
AVAST antivirus
Find it here
All right... all that is free too except for Avast... you got to register for the key but registration is free, so that would make the program free too
