    There is not one antivirus app that will detect all malware. Run 2 or more of the following, Avast, Avira, Malwarebytes and Ad-Aware. Before installing read about the limitations of each. For example, Avast has problems with windows System Restore.

    Learn to use basic commands, such as Chkdsk, and the meaning of switches.

    Acronis True Image

    PerfectDisk

    Partition Magic

    Revo Uninstaller or CCleaner

    Recuva

    Super Flexible File Sycronizer - for fast file backup

    Always have avast anti-virus, It's freeware and pretty good, Also get drivermax just in case you got to find drivers, I'm not sure if drivermax is free but check it out, That's all i can think of right now.

    EDIT: Also use "Ultimate Boot CD" it's what geek squad uses and it's free!

    It basically see's what's working and what's not.
