As an IT Professional with over 20 years experience in the field, I can say without a doubt that Avast is better at getting rid of viruses and spyware than AVG. This isn't debatable, it's a fact.
Microsoft Defender is not a bad free product. Who knows better how your Microsoft system should run than Microsoft? That being said, it's also a free product, so they obviously aren't to spend a huge amount of time or money developing something that really cleans you up like SuperAntiSpyware.
I recommend you don't use AdAware.
Spybot is weak, but I do like the tool they include to edit your startup processes.
