There are numerous free antivirus software available.

Here are some recommended by this forum:


AVG (http://free.grisoft.com/)
Avira (http://www.free-av.com/)
Avast (http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html)

This page is also pretty interesting:

No problem.

I haven't tried Avast personally but my friend has it on his laptop.

Good luck and keep virus free  ;)

Norton is even strongly NOT recommended. I use Avast on Vista. Works perfectly fine.
Don't forget to put Windows firewall up, or if you want better, free firewall, go with Comodo.
