Avast tends to have the highest reviews of free antivirus. www.avast.com Use it in conjunction with spybot and you’ve got yourself a good setup.

If your PC seems like its slowing down and having a hard time surfing the web or just doesn’t seem right. If you think that you have a virus or bug. You need to clean it out first to find out what’s causing the problems. Here’s a few programs that I use regularly and they take very little time and skill to run.
You should go to http://download.com and get these programs.

AD WARE AND SPY WARE REMOVERS:
AD-Aware: http://www.download.com/3120-20_4.htm…
Spybot search and destroy: http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search…
CCleaner: http://www.download.com/CCleaner/3000…

If you don’t have an Antivirus program you can use.
Avast: http://www.download.com/Avast-Home-Ed…
AVG: http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Viru…
Avira AntiVir9: http://download.cnet.com/Avira-AntiVi…

and for your firewall a good program is
Zone Alarm: http://www.download.com/ZoneAlarm-Fir…
Comodo: http://www.download.com/Comodo-Firewa…

Install these programs and run them regularly. This will keep your system clean and running properly. These programs are free and Download.com is a part of CNET (the site that your posting on right now). Hope this helps :-)
