Malwarebytes and AVG will keep you out of trouble, both have free versions.

Also critical is ensuring your OS (Windows) is kept fully up to date with Windows Update. Ditto your virus definitions for AVG and MWB.

If Spybot was slowing your PC down...how old is your PC? Might be time for an upgrade.
