What are some must haves programs?

Yeah I'm going to reformatted my comp soon, and would like to know what software I should get to improve system performance and protection? All I have is Adware, spybot, and spy dr. Any help would be great. Thanks

FYI, I'll be finishing my computer today and I'll post the results wish me luck

Must haves: anti-virus, firewall, anti-spyware.

Everything is personal preference. Check out this thread for a list of great freeware.

Beaten to the draw: it's the same list that Dangermouse posted
