   Hmm people like Avast – personally not a fan .. I like AVG and Kaspersky for Antivir and spybot S&d for malware.

   Download these

   Malwarebytes
   Avast Free Anti Virus
   Spybot Search & Destroy
   Comodo Free Firewall

   Spybot is all free and the other two are trials but are basically the same as the paid versions.
   .

   Update the programs, then run each one one by one. If you have enough ram, enable Malwarebytes protection module if you paid for it, and also enable Spybots “TeaTimer”. TeaTimer protects your registry. Your registry is basically critical system files and settings, like windows system 32. (What most infections attack to gain control over your pc)

   This is a powerful combo I personally use (all paid versions of course) and I put it on all my friends computers when there messed up.

   EDIT

   Avast has a boot time scan just incase your pc gets royaly messed up. It will scan every last dam file before ANYTHING is loaded.

   Avg free. But still I’ve seen computers with free anti-virus Ns when scanned by a proper anti-virus they are infested with virus’. In my opinion I wouldn’t skimp on the anti-virus man.

   You can get all the above suggested downloads, plus reviews at Cnet.com. A website that has many downloads and all are safe to download.

   Not a fan of “Free” AV software, Experience with AVG tells me to avoid it like the plague. Six computers 160 viruses later. AVG did not block the virus attack nor did it or any of the other software loaded on these computers protect the computer and remove the viruses.

   These machines were cleaned up using Norton Internet Security 2010

   If anything (free) go with Microsoft Security Essentials
   http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

   and download the Microsoft Malicious software Removal Tool
   http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.aspx

   I would trust these before any of the garage software.

   Avast! has the best defense for opening files or traversing the internet.
   Avira has the highest detection rate with few false positives, and detects really well when opening files or downloading them from the internet.
   AVG has went down-hill I don’t recommend them.

   Personally I use Avast! as 5.0 has really made quite a few changes for better and faster scanning.
   I recommend Avira if you know you’re infected and need to remove the virus quickly.

   Along with those, just for security purposes I recommend downloading MalwareBytes to see if avast/avira missed anything (which they will, no antivirus is 100%) and/or SuperAntiSpyware.
