my man, you are looking for Avira, not only free but arguably the best free or paid, it even incorporates antispyware, won awards last year and is awesome.
The ones best free avast and avira,but you can run only one anti virus on one OS.Running two on the same OS will conflict.The one I use is avast on my two OS xp and windows 7 with no problems at all.About avast:
