I have said it a million times in here... and laugh every time I hear AVG is the best. The answer is Avast! http://www.avast.com. remember that you also need anti-spyware. Go with spybot search and destroy and make sure you install and run tea timer with it. Tea Timer will block changes to the system registry and ask if you want to accept or deny these changes. If you think you have a virus or spyware on your computer already, you can try and run Hitman Pro. Make sure that when you run anti-virus and spyware scans that it is done in safe mode. Also, make sure from time to time to have Avast! run a boot time scan.

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.

Go to the official site of bitdefender and get the free version. you can see it is the best! forget about avg,kaspersky ,panda and of course Norton! norton was the best when it was the only one around! now it can work great only in GameBoys! and maybe Atari! and in my opinion... and the other one below Bitdefender. in antiviruses you can trust only the first one just like the condoms! it is exactly the same situation!

go here http://www.microsoft.com/security/partners/anti-virus.asp for the antivirus
there are lot of reason why your computer is always busy malware/virus/spy-ware might be the one scan your PC for this, if this is not the reason installed software and populated disk drive in your computer might be the one. uninstall unused program, use disk clean up delete all temp files, empty your recycle bin, delete unused or obsolete files and defrag your hard drive.
