Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

most virus removers charge you, but alot of places are selling norton at half price.
there are many different viruses give of different things, so if u notice anythign odd then id defrag the pc, aswell as check for spyware and generally clean it out. if its still not functioning correctly then id get it checked out or buy and install norton as this blocks all up to date viruses and spyware ect

If you want a good anti-virus that doesn't slow your computer down and is FREE, I recommend Avast.
