Uses multiple engines. HERE

Its free and has automatic updates, the only slight drawback is you get a popup asking you to buy it every now and then. The best free antivirus I have ever used.

In terms of spyware detectors, Super Antispyware is very good and free as well.

Anti-Virus engine and ALL of it's variants before it activates in your system, no alt + F4 needed.
