Anti virus / Spyware?Trial and Error?

I have Spybot Search and Destroy , Windows Defender on my PC and they seem to
do a good job although I find Defender abit difficult to understand at times
with whether I should be Permiting or Denying some changes :-/
I use to use AVG free then changed to Avast (which picked up virus and
spyware that AVG did not).Now after reading some veiws in here I have got
Panda 2008 on my system , it also picked up Bugs that Avast did not..but my
system is seeming slower than before...what to do?? Im thinking of starting
XP from scratch (what a headache) or trying a different lot of Anti virus etc
all together--Avira--Kasperksy--CA--Avast--AVG--never ending list it seems
:-)..Then its back to trial and error...Or maybe its New PC time :-/
