Best I can do for you is tell you what I usually use:
AdAware
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
AVG
http://www.grisoft.com
AdAware is pretty standard and I'd guess you've already given it a shot.
AVG is a virus checker thats a little off the radar. I like it because
some virus writers like to try to cicumvent the more popular AV
programs. Using AVG makes me feel a little better protected since its
not likely to be targeted directly. Though thats probably foolhearty :)
