I recently installed Avast 4 a free anti-virus program after McAfee messed up my computer but good. Avast is easy to configure and seems to run well. There are other free anti-virus programs, but most sources that I looked at ranked Avast at the top more often than any other free program.
Saying that you get what you pay for is not always true when it comes to computer security programs. As I said above, McAfee really messed things up with its latest upgrade. The problem with too many programs today is that each one is trying to do it all.....anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-phishing, etc., etc. causing them to clash with other programs also trying to do it all.

I use all of these free products. Should fix up your problems.
Antiviral. (free)
AVG free. Excellent protection available from: http://www.Grisoft.com
Don't use two antiviral products together as they may be incompatible. If your Antiviral trial has run out, then remove product from your computer and get the AVG installed.
Anti-spyware (all free)
Essential products are: Adaware SE from: http://www.lavasoft.com
Spybot SD http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html
Spywareblaster http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
Windows Defender - from Microsoft downloads.
Spycatcher
http://www.tenebril.com/consumer/spyware/spycatcher-express.php
PC starter kit at download.com 20 of the best recommended programes for people new or less advanced in computers. Check all three pages, at bottom see Security/Tools/Fun
http://www.download.com/PC-Starter-Kit/2001-12350_4-0.html?tag=dir
C Cleaner. http://www.ccleaner.com/
This will tell you a lot about what is on your computer, such as running programmes,cookies, History, settings etc. and will help you clean up and remove unwanted items. Be careful how you use it as it is a very powerful programme and you should read the help index before you do anything with it.

If you are a windows user and have 256 megs of ram download and install Windows Live One Care it'll purge any virus it finds on your system, or to choose from over 25 different freeware utilities go to http://www.magnisiunmedia.com pick one download, install and run it, have fun cleaning your system also a disk defragmenting session also would be a good idea.
