You can try AVG but beware....
I downloaded it and I got rid of EVERYTHING!!
That is, it deleted all my .exe files. So better take a backup before trying AVG.

AVG free anti virus is very good. I use it at home at the recommendation of one of my Windows instructors. Never had any problems with it, and no viruses either.
