I use Trend Micro PC-Cillin. If you want a free one, I highly recommend AVG.

Being a clinical psychiatrist I have a moral and legal obligation to keep my pc 100% clean from all virus/spyware/malware.
I tested every free and purchase antivirus system known. An I found only one that actually works 100%. Never had a virus or spyware in my system in nine years.
I use this antivirus program used by the Government of China. (Mainland China).
Go to, www.filseclab.com and download thier Twister AntiTrojan Virus program. (You will have to pay a small one time fee). You will never have to pay an annual fee for updates, support or new versions. The one time fee is for life. ($29.99)
The software company is located in Beijing, China. They have excellent support, frequent large signature updates an as always all new versions are free. No annual fee for anything.
Comes with a real time scanner that really works. Actually I am quite amazed over the nine years how well it works.
Scans memory on startup.
Real time scanning in the background.
Open any webpage with an embedded trojan/spyware or malware and scanner will clean on the spot. An It is really removed from your system.
Download any kind of program from zips, all types of compressed files, software files, music, etc,etc, an if there is a hidden embedded trojan,spyware,malware, this program will stop the download and clean. An will advise you to end the download.
Will even find a virus in the installer wizard, like "Wise Installer". And will stop the installation while it is being installed and clean. Plus this program always will trace back who installed the trojan.
I had a trojan in and wizard installer. Twister caught the trojan and stopped the installation. I wrote the origianl company and told them the wizard installer had an embedded trojan to steal your data. The company now uses thier own installer.
You can't beat this software for a one time purchase fee only. Actually I don't know of any antivirus progam that even comes close to this state of the art technology.
All I can say it is worth the one time fee. Your pc cost alot of money and you don't want it destroyed. Plus your privacy is protected at all times.
There is nothing in it for me to praise this program. I tell it like it is. If it is crap then I will say so.
An it is a very good idea to download from, www.ewido.net -- Their Ewido Malware program as it will protect you from every type of malware including dialers. Plus like the program from China, will scan almost 140,000 objects. Well that is how many files/programs I have in my system. (No conflict with Ewido).
Ewido updates usually every hour on the hours. Right now there is almost 148,000 signatures. The program becomes free after thirty day. They just remove the guard in the try & the auto updates. You don't really need the guard and you can do manual updates.
Or if you want another excellent back-up for malware, go to: www.lavasoft.com and download their Ad-Aware Se Personal it is free with updates.
I use both Ad-Aware Se Personal & Ewido as a backup to my antivirus & program. (Only because they find malware cookies).
Pls. excuse my grammer, I am from France.

I use McAfee, I have for about 8 years now and I have never gotten a virus yet. Also it is only $40 a year and of course you get all the updated for new viruses for free (as with ANY reputible ant virus)

I've used Avira Anti-Vir for years now, and have only gotten one virus in that time. Updated regularly, and completely free.
