    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.

    I use AVG anti-virus. You can get it at free.grisoft.com. Good luck.
