If you want a free anti-virus I recommend in order of popularity, but please choose the right one for you (install only one):

1. AVG Free

a. A simple interface (easier to use than Avast! and Avira)

b. Can detect about 82.82% of viruses

Cons: low virus detection

2. Avast!

a. Real-time protection

b. It has an option to delete a virus once found

c. Can detect about 87.46% of viruses.

Cons: Too many icons and confusing user interface

3. Avira AntiVir

a. It can detect malware better than Avast and AVG

b. It's cute umbrella icon

c. Can detect about 94.26% of viruses

Cons: A very sluggish update

Never install Norton anti-virus again, it entrenches itself deep inside of your computer and is almost impossible to completely remove. The best anti-virus available is Kaspersky or NOD32 (recent tests at av-comparatives.org).

even though u have to bye it u shall get the latest kaspersky anti virus at an office store
I use AVG Free. It's simple and easy to use. Also, I can be sort of a dummy when it comes to computers.
Avast! Free Home 4.7 works great, I mean you can never be Virus free with Windows, but it keeps my computer, Mac safe. Avast! has kept me virus free for the last year, also it has all around protection, for mail, e-mail, File, and even IM! Plus you receive updates every few hours. And unlike the $50+ Anti-viruses, where you can only either delete, ignore, or quarantine an infected file, with Avast! you can repair it, and Avast! Will do it's best to cure the file. Best of all it is light, When I had Norton, startup would take over 3 minutes, but with Avast! it takes about a minute to startup, my whole system completely.
have you tried ibm security, google it

or better yet, APPLE COMPUTERS

Mcafee is pretty good, but don't know if it's free though
AVG , Avast are free antivirus software. Ad-aware, Ewido are free spyware removers. You can download free softwares at http://fixit.in/antivirus.html and http://fixit.in/spywareremover.html . You can also run a free registry scan using utilities from http://re7.info
Well if you have comcast internet than i would get Mcafee. Its pretty good and free.
