For a Antivirus for Free, go with AVG Free.
and get Sygate for a firewall.
There both free and they work really well.

If you think your PC has a virus, don't buy protection over the internet or anything...
Please follow the procedures outlined here: Malware Removal Guide
You will need a PC which can connect to the internet
Run all the programmes as advised then post a current Hijack This Log in a new topic in the Malware Forum
For the purpose of accurate malware analysis, Hijack This Logs are only dealt with in the Malware Forum. Posting them anywhere else will result in a delayed response
If you are unable to run any of the programmes, please ask for advice in the Malware Forum

Hi
From my experience, if you want free and good antivirus, download and install avast! 4 Home Edition, its better, free and awesome antivirus, easy to use, updates every day automatically and have many other features that you can find only in the payed antivirus versions. Click Here for more info on avast! Check this link also
How to Install, Configure, and Use Avast Antivirus
Here are some reviews for avast! PC Magazine and this review
If you want firewall check this links, and choose what you think is best for you

I cant say Avast isnt good cause Im usin it now... but it still hav some weakness, it failed to detect some trojan kinda trojan. I even wondered why. But its different with AVG Antivirus though. Still AVG aint that good, too T.T The on access thing aint that good as avast (well, i'd downloaded some kinda trojan or sumthin like dat[accidently] and Avast responded instead of AVG (i'd let both on though it might crush my com). Hmm btw both were the free ver. though.

Hi simon_shaft
Are you saying that you have two antivirus programs running on your computer I am not sure that i understand you well, but if you have two antivirus programs, better uninstall one of them, and never use two at the same time, they will conflict over the infection and leave your system unprotected.
Avast detects trojans and other malwares too. If you want to see the differences between the payed and the free version of avast, check this link http://www.avast.com...rsion_comp.html

Thanks Snowhite for considering Avast, it detected 3 Trojans that AVG did not

Charliee03, I would highly suggest visiting the Malware forum... There might be other traces that we're not detecting using standard protection... Just post it... it's quick and painless, and you'll have your results within a few days.

[font=Georgia]I'm with Snow white on this one! Avast! 4.7 is the best by far.
