Default Good or bad? Virus/maintenance programs

Helping a lady to clean out her computer in order to give it to a friend. I'm
trying to keep as many of the programs as I can that I think will be useful.
She has PCBugDoctor, PC Rescue v2.0 and PC Mighty Max on there. Does anybody
know if these are "Good" programs or "Trash"?? She also has AdAware and
SpyBot, which I use all the time, so I'm definitely keeping those. Are these
PC programs overkill?? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I would keep 'Adaware' (download latest free version) and Spybot (also get latest version), but get rid of those others, they're obsolete. Add another security utility (free) called 'SpywareBlaster' from hehttp://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
Those three together will make a formidable team against spyware and trojans and malicious websites.
