If you want a decent, free, anti-virus program and you are running a licensed version of Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7, then I recommend Microsoft Security Essentials. It works quite well and is updated on a very regular basis.

Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows

Take care,
Mike
