DTB,
keep them all and depending on how often you are on your cpu/internet ( I run a scan and update weekly) run a scan and make sure to keep up with the updates.

Another great program I use is ATF cleaner

Doc, does this post from the past still apply today?

FROM DOC
Everyone should have on their cpu the following:

Ad-aware
spybot
ATF cleaner
Crap cleaner
CCleaner
Spywareblaster
Spywareguard
Mozilla Browser, NOT IE
CWS Shredder
AVG Antivrus, not Norton (it sucks and people pay for it),
Hijack This

And perform the following on a monthly basis:

EWIDO Scan
PandaHouse scan
Housecall Scan

The great thing about is it's FREE. I have never had a cookie, virsus, trojan, malware or spyware on my laptop since I became informed of such programs and daily routines. CPU runs like new all the time.

not a MUST for all, a few of those programs should keep cpu running fast...

add this new program to that list...
