No single anti-virus, anti-spyware program is going to catch everything. The single most important thing you can do to prevent future infections (in my opinion) is to switch to a different web browser and get off of Internet Explorer.

Install FireFox or Opera and make it your default browser. Only use IE when absolutely necessary.

Install and keep updated, Spybot Search & Destroy and Spyware Blaster. I don't recommend using Spybot's TeaTimer unless you understand exactly what it does and how to use it.
