You don't need to purchase anti virus software because you can get good software for free. The AVG free download is the best. You can download it for free here & also get helpful information about spyware/adware, viruses, etc. Have fun! http://spyware.dugancom.com

AVG free is great if you can't afford an expensive virus program. I use it on my home computer.
If you want to purchase, I suggest McAfee. It not only has a great virus library (that is searchable on their website) but they have some great diagnostic tools to help improve the performance of your computer by finding broken or missing elements.

i unlike alot of users think that free anti-virus software is just as good as some paid for software
programs like avast(http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html) and a.v.g (http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5) are excellent scanners and have kept thousands of users safe while using their p.cs over the internet
you can also find some excellent trial options,for example computer accosiates(e-trust) do a 6 month trial for their anti-virus as do f-secure, if you plan it right you can get around 2 years of trialware for free,its just a case of uninstalling the previous program and installing the next one,around 5 minutes work
however if you can apy for protection i would go for software such as f-secure(http://www.f-secure.com/home_user/products_a-z/fsav2007.html) or kaspersky(http://www.kaspersky.com/kis6),these are the bst anti-virus in my opinion that give you good all round protection without using too much system memory(such as norton/mcafee)
my personal recommendation
free ant-virus.....avast
paid for.............kaspersky
good luck

Trend micro PC-cillin looks after all your pc needs, it has a trial version, so you can see if you like it before you buy.and my pc didnt run slow,also have tried others but pc cillin is the easiest to use.
all the free antivirus software on web has been of no use to me.
oh and yes you can buy it online aswell.

Avoid McAfee - you get loads of spam and it is difficult to remove.

bidefender antivirus 10 or f-secure antivirus should be good choice
