kaspersky is one of the finer programs, in its category. though i think it is a little heavier in its resource usage. try bitdefender professional, instead !
adaware & spybot are in a difrnt category. u need an anti-virus plus firewall and a couple of anti-spywares.
to remove items from the start-ups use winpatrol or go to start>control panel>startup. dont think u can do that using any anti-virus.
