I use Ad-Aware, SPybot and MS Antispyware

On my PC, Ad-Aware and SpyBot. On my Mac, it hasn't been necessary yet.

When I was running windows, I just found that being smart about where I was browsing helped a lot so, didn't install any anti spyware programs. Using firefox (as opposed to IE) helped a lot in that area too.

Lol... I use a Mac so it's not really an issue at the moment.
I used to have a Windows PC and it was a constant nightmare. I'm a careful person and don't download porn/warez but still got all that kind of rubbish. The problem comes when you download some free app and the install the crap without permission. I think I had to format my machine every 6 months or so with Windows. On OSX I've been running for two years and not had to format once yet!

Here's what you need:
Nowadays having a Mac doesn't mean anything in the security arena, in fact I think the myth that Macs are invincible is slowly being chipped away at. NOD is okay, I suppose, but it's no better than any other anti-spyware program, IMO, and there's plenty of free stuff out there, so be choosy.
