Avast! Anti-Virus is excellent, all my family use it and it’s free.
http://www.avast.com/ and hover over the "Free software" link. Install the Home edition and you’re all set.
In response to the first question, Spybot is very good but I wouldn’t have that on it’s own, back-up from an anti-virus means you’re doubly protected.
Install Spybot – Search & Destroy…Its free and very good

Viper, it is an anti-virus + anti-spyware software.. It has a free evaluation of 15 days… it is a really good software, but it has an expiration… you can uninstall it when it expires and download it again and get the free evaluation(update it again)… I tell you, its a good anti-virus + anti-spyware software… it cleanses all the viruses in your computer..
I use the following for anti-virus
Avira Free Edition http://www.free-av.com/
AVG Free http://free.avg.com/download-avg-anti-vi…
I use the following for spyware protection
AdAware Free http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php
There are many options, a lot is personnel preference, however, I have great success with these.
Email me if you need more assistance.

According to me it is best to use Quick Heal 2009 Total Security and you should use Zone Alarm as a Firewall.
So download it from their respective websites or search it in google.
PLEASE LISTEN MY ADVISE !!! INSTALL AVAST ITS THE BEST .WITH avast its impossible to pick a virus coz avast do all time continue SCANNING and eliminate a virus if he find . Also u have avast licensees free for one year . But don’t afraid no problem there is a Little trick u can uninstall your avast antivirus some days before ur last date . in this way u can get avast for one year more .
