I was actually lucky enough to be one of the 70,000 people that's trying the new Microsoft Anti-Virus software (which is going to be freeware) and thus far it seems pretty good. I guess Micro$oft decided that they needed to squash a few more companies.....hahaha...anyway....

Might want to take a look at this one:

I like it because it doesn't eat as much resources as most anti-virus software and they update their virus database a couple times a day....
