It has to be compatible with Windows Vista

AVG - Free Edition is compatible with VISTA. I know, I have installed it several times. You can get it from the link below. It is the current version from there website. It gets pretty good reviews and I have had it detect viruses that Norton and avast have not. An all round good freebie. In a recent magazine review in Computer Shopper Norton and Mcafee were slated for being market leaders but having not performed well in there tests.
During the set up, when asked, you should untick the daily scan as a daily scan is a bit much and slows things down a bit whilst doing it. It runs in the background anyway so if you had a virus you would probably know. I recommend doing a full scan every now and then though just in case. Just not everyday.

Do to www.Infected Or Not.com or http://www.nanoscan.com and run one of the detection tools there. You should at least find out what kind of malware you have.
The site is part of the new Panda Software's campaign INFECTED OR NOT. They let you try their latest mega detection tools (Panda NanoScan and Panda TotalScan) for free and they get to collect data which is then published in the web site in the form of an Infection Index (they call it the Infex)
The new tools are very powerful, they have more virus definitions than anyone else, and they detect all kinds of malware (trojans, worms, adware, spyware, hacking tools, dialers, and more)

Mike, if you can afford a computer than can run Vista, you can go to Walmart and spend the $35 on Norton / McAfee !!!!

AVG - However, it sucks. Mine has yet to pick up a virus but when I scanned with Norton it found like 5. You get what you pay for (or don't pay for.)
