Ad-aware is on every machine I touch, set to do a complete scan on boot-up. It looks like we have a strong consensus on this thread.

Full setup at home:

Router appliance
Ad-aware everywhere
auto-updating Norton AV everywhere
Often running Zonealarm (it's been a little flakey under XP - anyone have anything better?)

I just downloaded it and ran it. Interesting program, thanks.

Your list is a good start, but you should consider adding:

Popup Stopper

Mozilla for the cookie control, additional pop-up blocking, and the Tabbed windows. (Hit control T, do a Google search in the new tab, and keep your place in FR in the old tab.)

Norton Firewall...works like a charm for me running W2K

What version of ZA are you running? I have a copy of ZA version 2.1.44 that might help. I've heard that earlier versions of ZA run better on ME and XP than newer versions. If you want to download it I can put it on my server for you.
