You're probably best just to pay that little bit more and get a good virus protection, like Norton.

PC World sometimes sell it cheaper, also Costco if you have them where you live (but you have to be a member to buy things there).



And the world spins madly on...

All comercial anti-viruses are rubbish. They only work against 30% of viruses ( a university lecturer told me this), and they cause more problems than they solve.
Personally, I do just fine with Zonealarm. Sure it's just as ineffective, but it doesn't destroy my system like Norton did.

I haven't used it myself as I'm a mac user, but I've heard good things about Clamwin. It's a GPL antivirus.
