1. If you want a free anti-virus I recommend in order of popularity, but please choose the right one for you (install only one):
   1. AVG Free
   a. A simple interface (easier to use than Avast! and Avira)
   b. Can detect about 82.82% of viruses
   Cons: low virus detection
   2. Avast!
   a. Real-time protection
   b. It has an option to delete a virus once found
   c. Can detect about 87.46% of viruses.
   Cons: Too many icons and confusing user interface
   3. Avira AntiVir
   a. It can detect malware better than Avast and AVG
   b. It’s cute umbrella icon
   c. Can detect about 94.26% of viruses
   Cons: A very sluggish update

2. Eddie,
   I just went down this road, and I want to corroborate Sam Adams’ excellent answer. My experience with these programs was just about identical to what he described. This guy knows what he is talking about. Comment: Isn’t it great when people offer this kind of accurate and thorough information on YA!
   Ultimately, I chose AVG Free, as a temporary solution because it’s easy to download and use, until this weekend when I’ll have some time to research and purchase a top-shelf program.
   Good luck,
   Edward
