Avast or AVG are highly rated and you can get either free from CNet.com!!

AVG is the best. I have got it on my desktop and it runs like a dream.

Avira antivir classic is always the best choice in choosing a free antivirus. although it has a limited usage (good for several months) and bugs you with "buy/try our premium" offers, its detection rate is one of the best. If you don't want these then try AVG free edition. Remember to always pair your free antivirus with a decent antispyware and a firewall to have a max protection on your pc.

avg free download i use it excellent.

I Agree with everybody
AVG would be the best choice
you can get it here

Hey dude,
You've stated that its a brand new desktop. So, i'll reccomend you the google pack. It contains Norton Security scan and also a spyware doctor.
Besides that, there are various other applications that are useful for a newbie.
You can download it from
http://pack.google.co.uk

If you want really good antivirus service, go for Kaspersky. It doesn't even cost much...
:)

"AVG"

dont listen any thing
i m computer doctor

u go here http://smspoint.googlepages.com and download virus scanner program and in that program there is lots of information about virus and sure u can enable task manager,folder options in a click and also show hidden files. its a great virus fighting tools

I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following linkhttp://www.computeractive.co.uk/. On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps
