FYI-
This young lady is a moderator on at least one of the prominent malware sites. In her notes, it appears she is now working for one of the software companies. Anyway, she is competent on the subject.
Here is a nice compilation of free antivirus, antispyware, and firewall. You want one (and only one) of each. Most all of these are free, or have free versions.
Also, some pretty interesting reads. Notice the write-up on disabling auto run; especially if you use a USB a lot.
