Two good A/V products are:
AVG AntiVirus

Avast Home Antivirus

(Note: Only use one anti-virus product as running more than one can cause conflicts thus rendering each ineffective. Same goes for firewalls)
You might want to consider some other freebies that you can use to protect and run scans as well.
ZoneAlarm Free Firewall

Spybot S&D (free version requires manual updating)

You can get AVG anti virus at the following site. Download the free version, install it and update it. AVG anti virus software is one of the best.

www.avast.com

AVG Antivirus is free and works very well. I have it installed on my PC and also any PCs I build or fix for people.
