3. I'll second AVG. It's a nice program, better than a number of the $$ ones.

works great, easy to download, easy to use...an important thing for this computer non-savvy person.
Available free from www.MajorGeeks.com
Also available on that site, Ad-Aware and Spybot-Search & Destroy...plus other goodies for you savvy folks

5. Give Avast a try first.
You won't be sorry. It kicks some ass for an anti-virus program. Just use the free home edition.

7. I second Avast
never had any problems with it, it has excellent reviews from CNET, and I like the skinnable interface.
