Norton360 is a really good program but not free i think they have a 15day tiral you can use.
But the only free program i can think about it Spybot Search & Destroy but thats for Spyware & Adware

Comodo Firewall (I'm using it right now and like it), ZoneAlarm (another firewall), AntiVir Antivirus, SpyBot is good... AdAware SE... that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

I want to bring this question back for a more current opinion. I use windows firewall, AVG antivirus, Spysweeper, and AdAware. AdAware is the only program that ever finds anything, both Spysweeper and AVG scan for a good half hour and come up clean everytime. Now if I really am virus and spyware free then that's great, but I am skeptical because it just seems unlikely, espeially the spyware. I even emailed Spysweeper's tech support about it and never heard back. Anyone else having similar behaviors? Recommendations for more effective programs? I did look at the wiki, but I'd also like to hear from your experiences.

when i was using windows i had AVG and it wold always pick up an on any sort of questionable programs i lying around so it must be doing something right.
As for the spyware the only free one that i found effective was spybot S&D.
I keep finding all sorts of files like that on my computer, except I run linux so there's no reason for any .exe files. That must be where they are coming from, my wife loves chatting also.
That's one advantage of linux, I can leave the computer safe in her hands, because even if she did download a virus, or other nasty, she wouldn't be able to compile it anyway. Ah, the power of root.
For antivirus software, a common package linux users like is ClamAV. There is also a Windows version. I haven't personally used the windows version but the linux version works well.
My goal in life is to earn enough money to enjoy the lifestyle that my wife and kids do.
