AVG is very good, there are a couple of other good free ones also (like Avast and Antivir).

Here is a link to a whole truckload of free security (and antivirus, antispyware, firewalls, and other good such security programs, most all of them free (including free online antivirus scans from the major for-profit antivirus companies (like Symantec, TrendMicro, Panda, etc.). .

anything you could possibly need is linked to by the below page:

You also need to make sure you have all the windows updates from Microsoft, if you're running any version of Windows.

I would also strongly urge you to have a good anti-spyware program or two in place (installed), like Spybot Search and Destroy (free), and SpywareBlaster (also free)), as well as Lavasoft AdAware SE Personal 1.06 (free).

Also make sure you have a good firewall running on your computer (something better than the Windows Firewall that comes with XP (but if you don't have any other firewall, then make sure the Windows Firewall is turned on (go into control panel and find the Windows Firewall icon and click it and then select "On" and click "Ok")

good luck and God bless you.
