If you were living ten years ago, it wouldn't be as much of a problem. But because of the Internet, most viruses and worms can spread freely. So, if you want to play it safe, I'd suggest one. You can download a free version of Norton Anti virus from the link below, it has a six month trial period. AOL has a free version of Kaspersky also at the bottom links. This is solely my opinion, but I don't suggest free scanners unless they're certified by a third-parties like ICSA labs or Westcoast Labs for detection and removal. AVG used to be one of those products, that didn't meet that criteria. It is now certified by Westcoast Labs, but not ICSA at this time. Though I'm a litte concerned about AVG, it is free and seems to be improving as a all-around scanner.

Most commercial anti-virus programs such as Symantec and McAfee are subscription based, you need to pay a fee to use them. But there are some good free alternatives.
I use AVG Free anti-virus. It works well and it is free.
There is also another good one by Comodo although I haven't tried it. While you are at this site you need to checkout their free firewall program. I use it and it works very well.

Do a web search for AVG Anti-Spyware and AVG Anti-Viris. They are both free downloads and quite reliable.
