These are the 3 things I use, with great results:
1.) Ad-aware (www.lavasoft.de)
2.) Spybot: Search and Destroy
3.) Spyware Blaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html)

These, along with Norton Internet Security 2004, and my pc runs like a greased pig.

Try running Mozilla Firefox. It is a browser like Internet explorer, yet doesnt fall victim to the same malicious software the affects IE. It allows for a tabbed system, which means that instaed of having five browsers open at once, you can have different pages as tabs for easy access. Oh yeah...its free
