All they have recommended are good free antivirus softwares. But you have to remember that no manufacturer would give you a full-featured software for free while they sell their full-featured one for a fee.
If you keep on experiencing these frequent attacks by viruses and spyware I would suggest if you can spare some cash do buy a good antivirus and antispyware product. they would provide you with better and complete protection as well as automatic updates and patches.
You can try them out first all the other contributers here has recommended before buying one so you would know which would suite you well.
For me Kaspersky, Esset NOd32 and Norton are good choices.

Download the following five programs:
1) CCleaner does an excellent job cleaning up temporary internet files, cookies, temp files, recycle bin, and prefetch folder.
2) If you don't have an antivirus program, EITHER AVG and Avast -- only install ONE.
3) Hitman Pro will let you automatically install, update, and run in Safe Mode many of the best free and free-to-try antispyware programs all with one click, including Spybot Search & Destroy, Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE, SpywareBlaster, Ewido, and free trials of Webroot Spysweeper and PCTools SpywareDoctor. The free version of Spybot Search & Destroy allows autoupdates, but Hitman Pro helps in keeping the others up to date with one click.
4) Winsockfix which is used to fix your internet connectivity if cleaning up malware breaks your internet connection.
5) Hijackthis which catalogs the places programs (both legitimate and malicious) are usually found, so that an expert can tell you if there's anything nasty remaining.
First, run CCleaner to clean out temporary files. In the Advanced section only check off "Old Prefetch data". Then click on Issues and scan for issues. Have it fix them all and make backups in case something gets erased that shouldn't (although I've never had problems with CCleaner's issue fixes). Then Scan for issues again until you get "No issues found". Then click on Tools and uninstall programs you don't want, and while in Tools click on Startup to remove things you don't want starting automatically. If you're unsure what you need to keep you can google for advice or email me with your questions.
Then update your antivirus program and then reboot into Safe Mode to run a full scan, then reboot after cleaning up what it found.
Then run Hitman Pro with the Safe Mode box checked. Reboot after cleaning up what it found.
Now run Hijackthis with the "Scan and Save Logfile" button, and email me the hijackthis.log, and I can advise you if there's any malware still there.
If your internet connection isn't working after removing malware, run Winsockfix.
When you're all done and know everything is working, you can disable System Restore, reboot, and then re-enable it. I also periodically run a rootkit detector; AVG, Sophos, and F-Secure all have free ones.

Here are program I use that will give you 100% protection. Ofcourse you must also have all your critical updates installed from Microsoft.
I use the free zone alarm firewall for many years. Excellent with free updates and all new versions free. Protects you from rouge incoming packets and keeping your private data from leaving your pc.
http://www.zonealarm.com Download their free home for personal use.
Antivirus program I use. You only pay a one time fee of $29.99. and you get all updates and all new versions for life.
Read the webpage and if you like what you read this is the antivirus of choce I have used for over ten years and never one virus.
By culture the Chinese are very secret just about everything and that includes their software.
This antivirus program out of Beijing, China that is also used by the Government of China.
This antivirus program does not have the Govt. permission to be rated with all other known antivirus programs.
What I can assure you is that you pay only a one time fee for life that will include all auto updates, and all new versions for life. The Chinese don't believe in having to pay an annual fee for updates or new versions.
I can tell you their technology is light years ahead of any other known antivirus software out there.
If you open a webpage and there is a hidden virus it will clean in realtime. Anything that you download and has even a trace code, it will kill the download and ask you to upload the trace code for investigation. In real time the upload will tell you if it is clean or not.
Will not allow you download, Real Player, because there is a hidden file that is a trojan keylogger. The file was uploaded and traced back to the United States Army, Intelligence Services out of London, England. (Removal of the file Real Player will reject the installation).
Read for yourself at their webpage. I have never had one virus in ten plus years. Plus it will catch any progam with it's dynamic defense system, for software that you download and it does not have a publisher or lic., included.
Twister Trojan Antivirus V7
Very low on resources with scanner running in background.
