All thsese are free and very good.
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

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

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.

Nothing is that good, when it is free to download, but almost every office supply store has norton antivirus 2006 that comes out "FREE" after rebates. Its not really free because you pay the tax on it and then for the stamps to send in the rebates, but it is still pretty good deal. Only comes out to $3 or less and it will typically take 2 months to get your money back, but just make copies of everything you sent in. It will cost you more in gas to get to the store. Good luck

AVG is a good one, go to http://www.majorgeeks.com and on the left, click on "anti-virus", scroll down and find "AVG free edition".

I personally recommand AVG Anti-Virus FREE edition
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1
it is much better than Norton (much less memory hungry)
you get updates, it scans your emails, real-time protection...
