If you want to be safe then you have to pay for it. There are loads of so called free anti-virus software programs---but you get what you pay for.
If you really want to take the risk though just type free software in your browser and it will bring up loads of sites to look at.

AVG is a good free anti virus software
Adaware is another good one.
No one single anti virus program will fix every virus, but if you have too many programs it will slow your system down.

Most everyone is right by saying to go get AVG, I used it for 4 years and NEVER had any trouble with it,as a matter of fact I find it better then the one I am using now that came with my service provider.

There's Avast! or AVG anti virus, Ewido and Spybot Search and Destroy anto trojans, and Ad-Aware SE Personal anti spyware. Plus a whole load of other freeware goodies to keep your pc safe and running smoothly on the internet.
Please note that Spybot is not an anti virus.
And please be careful while Googling as there are people who put on fake sites to get trojans on to your pc.
The Windows firewall doesn't stop malware on your pc from dialling out. Either of these firewalls are free for personal use and stop unwanted incoming and outgoing traffic. You choose which programs are allowed to access the internet. They are both fairly easy to use and updated regularly.

Instal both these web browsers, turn off javascript on one and use that browser for vising unknown websites. They don't support Active X so thats one less way for problems to get on your pc.
