Either AVG or AntiVir. Both of these have free and paid versions. U could take them both, I have them both running without any problems, but some guy said that his computer got messed up when he installed both. But both of them (the free versions) are very good.

I have never encountered any problems with having these 2 installed. Norton for example refuses to install if u have some other anti-virus software installed, but I think that it has something to do with financial stuff, not compatibility issues. But that's just my gues.

I also use McAfee VirusScan antivirus software, and have not had any problems. I was paying for the yearly subscription, but now I get it free with my "Verizon with MSN Premium" DSL service. A lot of people like the free AVG antivirus software, so if you need a free one and don't have MSN Premium, that would probably be a good choice.
AVG is probably the best free anti-virus. PC-Cillin has a good value internet security package, which scans quickly and includes a so-so anti-spyware scanner. Kaspersky has been known to have the best detection rates, but it takes longer to scan than PC-Cillin and is also a paid program.
