free anti-virus software has come a long way in the last few years.gone are the days were you would stay clear of anything that was free,now there are some brilliant free anti-virus programs avalible to download
avast 4.7 is about the best of the lot,and is avalible free from http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html,and is very easy to install and update,it runs in demo mode for 60 days,but can be converted to the full version by registering free from the website
avg anti-virus by grisoft is a good free anti-virus with timely updates and a easy to use interface,it can be downloaded free from http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1. the only downside to this program is it can sometimes detect "false posotives",these are viruses that dont exist but avg thinks they do
there are a few more free anti-virus,but you have to look into them thouroughly before you risk putting them on your p.c,but also you can try using evaluation versions of anti-viruses,as some companys have 6 and 12 month evaluations which is the same time spam that some payed for versions give you
e-trust anti-virus do a 12 month evaluation,to try this go to http://home3.ca.com/Microsoft/
good luck
