Sorry for the confusion with adding and removing posts…. The link above that ScHwErV posted goes to the free Antivirus programs we recommend, as well as Free Online Virus Scanners, Free Virus Removal Tools for Specific Infections, Free Spyware Detection and Removal, Free Online Spyware Detection and Removal, Free Spyware Prevention, Free Firewalls, Free Rootkit Detection and Removal, and other Free Tools.

Enjoy :)

AVG has had some issues of late with false positives, including one in which they deleted a critical Windows file. AVG 8 is also more bloated than previous versions. However, any of the programs that we recommend in the link posted by ScHwErV, including AVG, are good programs (and certainly are much better alternatives than having no protection!).
