free antivirus program normally can only detect but unable to remove the infected files. else it is not strong enough and they might be a virus themselves.... if really got such a good free program... the companies like norton, trends.. can just close down.
if it is becos of cost($$) you are looking for a free software.. i recommend you to try Cyber Scrub Antivirus. it comes with a 5 years subscription fee waived, you need not renew its license yearly for 5 years with just one year cost.

Two packages: one is Ad-aware and the other is Spybot S&D. Google for them to see from where you can download them (sorry Yahoo!). Those two software complement each other. If you like the products, consider donatin to the developers (even pizza for lunch would be appreciated). Nothing comes for free, really.

I use Spybot Search & Destroy. It is user friendly and has regular updates.

Go to symantec.com, you can get free trials of Norton. That's all I know of.
