   Avast is a good anti-virus
   http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html [Free home edition]

   Avira is also a good anti-virus
   http://www.free-av.com

   Windows Defender is recommended in addition for real-time spy-ware protection.

   Download SuperAntiSpyware for user initiated scans

   I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy a spyware killer for years. I have recently added superantispyware. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans Hackers etc. I have just upgraded to AVG free 8.0 and all seems good so far. Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from http://www.download.com/ I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps

   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

   I advise against Norton anti-virus, it’s bloated software that slows your computer down. The best anti-virus available is Kaspersky or NOD32 (recent tests at av-comparatives.org).

   I have tried all of them AVG, Avast, bit defender, Norton and the best I have used is http://www.superantispyware.com/ it gets rid of all viruses and doesn’t give out false positives. I use the free home use edition.
