I need a good anti virus program that is FREE on the net. Can anyone please help me out?
Avast is good and free for antivirus. They have a payware version that takes care of everything else, but there are other free programs for everything else.
For antispyware (that's the everything else) get spybot.
Avast:

Spybot:

Please be sure to hit "Update" and then "Immunize" in Spybot. Might hit the "donation" button in a week or so if you're happy with it. ^.^
AVG Free was recommended by many IT guys for normal personal internet use. I think our beloved programmer on GP uses it.
AVG is great. Been using it for several years.
