OK i offer you this advice.
Avg and all the other antiviruses tell u when the virus has actually got into the system.
You need AVAST antivirus because it warns you before.
You get a big thing come up on the screen and it talks to you.

i 100% reccommend this as we have 5 pc's and have never had a virus.

Hi, I've tried loads of free antivirus software and i think the best free download is Ad-Aware. You can find this on www.adaware.com
If you go through Google be careful you don't click on 'adware' (notice the subtle difference in spelling) It's not so good.

AVG antivirus free http://www.grisoft.com
Ad-aware (free) - http://www.lavasoft
Other option can be:
