for me, it's more the way I use Windows than the programs.
Having said that, I use ZoneAlarm fw, avira av and scan weekly w 
malwarebytes.

I don't get viruses and pretty much zero crapware by careful browsing. 
No IE (where possible), Firefox w Noscript/ghostery/cookie monster.  I 
turn off javascript and cookies by default and avoid Flash where 
possible (linux too).
