Get AVG Antivirus. I've never had a virus since I downloaded it (3 years).

Personally, I use the AOL AntiVirusShield. Don't let the name AOL scare you. AntiVirusShield is made by Kaspersky which is one of top-rated anti-virus vendors in the world.
In recent tests, the most popular free anti-virus, AVG, was only able to detect about 82% of a very large sample of viruses. On the other hand, AntiVirusShield was able to detect better than 99% in the same test.

AOL AntiVirusShield has excellent virus detection rates and is extremely light on using your computer resources.
Free to anyone, AOL member or not.

There are a several free virus scanners out there for home or personal use. I prefer the following two.
AVG by Grisoft (mentioned earlier) is available here: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1
And Avast by Alwil available here: http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html
