AVG - is very good and i use it and it works great
and i recommend a firewall as well - Comodo is a good one.

Anti-Virus = AVG8 (free edition)

Spyware remover = SpyBot search and destroy

Adware remover = Ad-Aware (free edition)

Rootkit remover = F-Secure Blacklight (free)

These are ideal for new to advanced users.

Avast - I have their free version installed on 2 laptops and a home PC and it does a nice job.

Ad-Aware is a good program. I use it and it cleans my computer good

Spybot, Ad-Aware and AVG ( best free ones )

It's funny almost all the free antiviruses (AVG, Avast, Ad-Aware, Avira) begin with the letter "a"
