hi well i think you can try AVG it is free and it has an automatic update everytime you connect thru the internet but if you can spend some money go for the better version of AVG
hi,try kaspersky……..u can downoad it n it works for 2 months,without asking u 2 register,or provide ur details
For your anti-virus needs, I would suggest Avira AntiVirĀ® PersonalEdition Classic. It has excellent heuristics, a virus detection rate that is better than most "paid-for" anti-virus programs and is light on using your computer’s resources. Uses less then 10 MB RAM on my machine. And did I mention that it’s free for life!
Download here:

BTW, Avoid the free version of an anti-virus called AVG, it has horrible virus detection capibilities.
Enjoy!

Online scanners.
As for Tempororal/small solutions
http://www.free-av.com/ – Avira
http://www.avast.com/ – Avast
I recommand you getting something like BitDefender 2008/
Comodo Pro V3 (Excellent trojan/malware prevention/Firewall leak proof – Free)
or paid AV products.
http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/
Free trials sometimes scan but don’t remove or
have limited features or
last around 30-90 days which you can just type
free trial anti viruses at
download.com
Ad-aware/S & D spybot

or superantispyware as suggested above by someone else.
Alternatively, googling E-wido/AVG free anti-spyware/Superantispyware/spywareblaster/spyware terminator.
Remember, to get a long term solution.
And clean up your registry with

or Tuneup utilities 2007.
Along with McAfee Siteadvisor for website protection..browser hijack warnings..

No antivirus or antispyware protection is perfect, not even the expensive ones but a good mixture will help you clean your system and hopefully keep it clean. It is advisable not to run two or more anti virus applications.
For starters, download, update and run a full scan using the following product:
http://www.superantispyware.com/
SuperAntiSpyware is exceptional and will remove the majority of difficult Trojans and Worms, not just the easy ones.
If possible it is recommended that you load the application in normal mode but run it in Safe Mode. Safe Mode can be started by continually pressing F8 during the boot sequence. However, if you are badly infected you might need to run SuperAntiSpyware more than once to help clean your system. If the only infections now being shown are in System Restore, once you are completely satisfied that you can boot normally, you can either delete the infected restore points manually, or temporarily turn off System Restore.
In addition download, update & run Avira. Unlike a lot of the free antivirus applications this will give you real time protection and is very quick to load at boot up.

Assuming you have some real awkward infections and the suggestions above failed to totally clean your system I suggest you download a Smitfraud removal program from:
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/desktop_software/desktop_security/smitfraudfix.cfm
Again if possible run in Safe Mode.
Be advised that some infections will corrupt or disable your resident security products so for completeness I have listed a couple of online scans that may help you get started:
Panda – http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/Ac…
Trend – http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
Good luck & safe surfing.
