This question gets asked frequently here. The most popular choice for a free antivirus is probably AVG Free Edition:

It should be remembered that anti-virus software is only one part of a full security suite. You should also install a decent firewall, such as Zone Alarm

and some anti-malware software, such as SpyBot S&D

and/or AdAware (left hand link):

However, having typed all of that lot out, I should also point out that Microsoft Security Essentials is gaining quite a large fan base around here:

And, if your ISP is Virgin Media then they do their own full security which is extremely good and free.

avast is also a reliable free anti virus software

Malwarebytes is free and can come in useful. Update each time before you run a scan.
