Any good all-in-one "anti-software?

Besides the normal AntiVirus protection, what is your opinion of or
ratings of good software that ALSO gives good protection against
worms, trojans, scripts, backdoor, and other malware?

I already have ZoneAlarm pro firewall.

JMHO but I tend to distrust "all-in-one" software, different packages
have different strengths. I use AdAware,
<http://lavasoft.element5.com/software/adaware/>, for spyware, Spybot
Search & Destroy, <http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html>, for
tracking cookies, etc. and a-squared
<http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/> for worms and Trojans.
There's some overlap there but that does no harm.

There is no "one size fits all" solution. Here is my opinion-

I already use AdAware, Spybot, and SpySweeper in addition to
anti-virus software, but am looking for better protection from worms
and trojans. I'll check out a-squared which looks good.

Aren't worms, trojans, backdoors, etc. just as bad or worse than
viruses?

I think that they're all bad in different ways. Trojans, etc. can
give someone access to your system so passwords and CC information
can be compromised.
