I would suggest using a product called Zone Alarm to start with which is a free firewall. When someone is trying to access your computer, it will inform. That will not protect you from viruses per-sa but is a must. They have a free version (not a demo) and a more ellaborate version which will cost but not necessary. As far as anti-virus, Mcafee has a product called STINGER which analyzes your computer for known viruses and removes them. Does not prevent but is a start to make sure you are not infected. Go to http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/polipstinger.asp and download it and run. The instructions are all there... Other than that, go to google and type "free anti-virus" and see what comes up. Be sure to run STINGER before and aafter you install.

Yes, AVG is a common free anti-virus program. Don't forget to add anti-spyware, anti-adware, and anti-malware software onto your computer as well.
I like Ad-Aware, PestPatrol, and Spyware Doctor.

i guess it was already mentioned.... AVG is the perfect free anti-virus software. but if you need a "free" anti-spyware utility, download XoftSpy then download the crack in www.astalavista.com

AVG from grisoft is pretty good, and very stable, reliable. You can update if automatically from the net, and it doesnt' cost anything.
Also, housecall-antivirus is a good online scanner.
