Try Trends housecall (housecall.trendmicro.com) and spybot and see what they find. Just because they did not get a hit it does not mean your not infected. Windows Defender has been lambasted because it only covers around a 1/3 of the active spyware out there.

I tend to use with defender anti spyware and windows firewall.
For actual web usage though i just use a mac.
agree with you on using a mac.
av i either use avast or avg
firewall - zonealarm or comodo
anti spyware - spybot search and destroy, adaware personal se, spy sweeper ( which is not free btw ), windows defender and hijackthis for IE version 6.
But im not much of an IE user, so I normally tend to go with firefox.
Never tried nod32 so not sure about that although heard a lot of good things about it.
