As we're talking of product leaders...
Seen from the desktop view, one of them surely is Spybot Search &
Destroy, which is additionally as cheap as it gets: Freeware.

Safer Networking, its vendor, has recently developed an administration
suite, too. This is not free, but still very cheap, and may be a good
choice for those who do not mind having to manage seperate AV and
Anti-Adware solutions, even more so if equipped with a limited budget
and still look for a hard to beat solution (if combined with an
infrastructually suited Antivirus solution).
