Try AVG from Grisoft. It's supposed to be very good.

I use it exclusively, and it has worked wonders ( found and safely removed a couple of virus' too! )

Nice thing is, updates are free...no stupid monthly service contract.

Antivirus software that you have to pay for month by month makes me think of the guy that creates a solution to a problem he created to make money....underhanded and EVIL.
