The most common type of virus is a worm that slows down your computer or could possibly cause some not to work.
I would reccomend going to www.download.com And search for anti-virus. There will be a list of numerous programs all of which have been rated by people who have downloaded them prior. Also another program that can be vital to keeping a fast computer is Adaware its an anti spywear adaware type of program. You can search for that on the www.download.com site also.
If you are seraching the web its a must to have an anti virus
