The best anti-virus is NOD32, then Kaspersky but they are not free. If you want a free anti-virus I recommend in this order (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
Your internet browser offers a built-in pop-up blocker, so using that and keeping your machine clean of adaware is the best pop-up blocking comination. So I would recommend Adaware and Spybot to make sure you do not get pop-ups.
