There are 2 good antivirus apps that are free

AVG
AVG Free - Download Free Antivirus and Antispyware for Windows 7, Vista and XP (http://free.avg.com/)

Avira - Click the download tab
Free antivirus - Avira AntiVir (http://www.freeav.com/)

If looking for something to purchase, BitDefender has been rated #1 the last few years

Avira free or Avast. I use Avira because it does not slow my computer down and Avira has a very high detection rating.

NEVER surf the interweb while logged in with administrator privileges


That'll solve 99% of your problems

I've owned many of the big name Antivirus software programs but none of them were as effective as Avast (which is FREE for home use). You just have to reregister each year... Never had a problem since I installed it years ago...
