PCTool's Anti Virus- a free Anti-Virus solution.
Computer viruses are no fun and so is not be protected. Most Anti-Virus that you pay for never seem to do what you paid for. Take Norton Internet Security 2007 as an example. It nags every month to run a full system scan which never seems to find anything but a tracking cookie, something internet sites often use to identify who you are a watch what you do on the site they come from. Completely pointless and a waste of money. On the other hand, there's PCTool's Anti Virus, a free program that automatically protects you from the dangers of the internet by removing Trojans, viruses, spy-ware and ad-ware. However, one downside is that you have to check for updates yourself and every day there is a new update but you really should only need to update once a week. Another problem is it will sometimes identify important files or sometimes just plain old word documents as corrupted and attempt to remove them so be careful what you let it remove.
All in all, PCTool's Anti-Virus is a good solution to costly Anti-Virus services that don't seem to do their money's worth. I give this program a 4 out of 5 stars.
