On my PC, Ad-Aware and SpyBot. On my Mac, it hasn't been necessary yet.

When I was running windows, I just found that being smart about where I was browsing helped a lot so, didn't install any anti spyware programs. Using firefox (as opposed to IE) helped a lot in that area too.

Lol... I use a Mac so it's not really an issue at the moment.
I used to have a Windows PC and it was a constant nightmare. I'm a careful person and don't download porn/warez but still got all that kind of rubbish. The problem comes when you download some free app and the install the crap without permission. I think I had to format my machine every 6 months or so with Windows. On OSX I've been running for two years and not had to format once yet!

Here's what you need:
Nowadays having a Mac doesn't mean anything in the security arena, in fact I think the myth that Macs are invincible is slowly being chipped away at. NOD is okay, I suppose, but it's no better than any other anti-spyware program, IMO, and there's plenty of free stuff out there, so be choosy.

Spyware Protection is necessary always. Spyware is the term used because of the slyness of this malware. Using different antivirus can help detect this kind of malwares or viruses.
