AVG Free edition is one of the best, and you can also scan your PC online at Panda Software.
As for an uninstaller, most programs come with those, but just in case they don't, Windows has a default one, and you get to it by clicking Start, then Settings, then Taskbar and Start Menu. From there, click the Advanced tab, then hit the Remove button...this gives you a list of all the programs on your computer....from there, just pick out the one you want to uninstall, and click Remove. Windows will do it for you.

I use all of the following Free software with Windows XP SP2 and Internet Explorer with MSN toolbar and the pop-up blocker turned on and have never had a single problem with my computer sense Microsoft came out with SP2. (knock on wood.) (And be sure to keep Windows and the following software Updated)
The best Uninstaller is the one that came with Windows.
The best Anti-virus is: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. (www.grisoft.com)
The Best Spyware defense is: SpyBot Search and Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html)<--English version
AND: AdAware SE (www.lavasoft.com)
AND Spyware Blaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.info/kb/)
The best Firewall besides the one that comes with Windows is: Zone Alarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/co... or just (www.zonelabs.com) and select the FREE version.
These are all FREE and are all that are required. There is no reason to pay for this kind of software, except to give a donation to the writers if you can.
ALL the above programs are recommended and should be run on a regular basis. With some the free versions they must be run manually.
The best way to avoid getting any Malware (virus, Trojan's, spyware, etc) is to practice safe computing. Microsoft and many others have countless articles on the subject of safe computing. (something I think should be taught in schools)

Kaspersky is the best ever - devised by the Russians. you can download it free and don't need to pay annual fees.
Stay away from Norton it causes more problems and does let some viruses through.
