AVG has a good free security suite as does Malwarebytes. I have also heard good things about Microsoft Security Essentials.
Kaspesky and Bitdefender are probably the best if you have a little coin to spend or cough know where to get a crack.

thanx y'all

@bodybuildaussie u stoopid ......lmao

After Using Avira Antivir for Almost 2 Years Finally Selttled for Microsoft Windows Security Essentials
* FREE
* SAFE & STABLE
* USES LESS RESOURCES

Switch To NET PROTECTOR ANTI VIRUS + INTERNET SECURITY.
I'm Using These From Two Years And It's Just Fine.
PC Scan, Root kit Delete, Mal ware Database, etc.
Updates Very Fast. And Big Deal 'NO PC HANG' Or 'Slow'. Purchase License Copy Only. It's Reasonable.

I have Windows 7 and Microsoft really improved their firewall so that's the one I use along with free Panda antivirus, Microsoft Essentials (doesn't seem to create any conflicts or bugs so far) and Malwarebytes Pro with real time protection.
