I'm running AVG anti-virus, Ad-aware, and Spybot. Is this good enough for
virus/spyware/malware protection, or are there better programs out there?
What do you suggest?

Depends, what browser are you using ? No flamewar intended, but if your
using Firefox or Opera and you're (group)-google for malware before you
install software you'd be allright IMHO.

Dont' forget a firewall. Also you may want to try the free version on
ewido antispyware, which is made by the same people who make AVG.
WinPatrol is also a good program.

I'd say everyone that surfs the internet needs to use Sandboxie. There
are a lot of web sites that that install malware just by opening them.
Sandboxie works differently that other programs. It saves all the junk
to a sandbox which can be deleted.
OK, so it's no problem.
The last sentence from your link:
'As the vendor involved has not been involved in the distribution of
adware for many months, and as the program itself exhibits no problems
serious enough to warrant mention on this page, we have decided to de-
list Spyware Terminator from the Rogue/Suspect list and can no longer
regard the program to be "rogue/suspect."'

That's all I'm doing. Of course, I run a good firewall and don't use IE
except for Yahoo email and the MS websites. Also, never open any
attachment from anybody unless you're certain it's safe.
