I second Free AVG. It works well and updates its virus definitions automatically.

As a note: AVG is focused on vir protection mostly.In spyware and rubbish detection its located in the middle field (well if we trust in what some pc magazines reports) but because database is updated weekly its gets quick improved.

Avast!
AVG
ClamWin
AntiVir
NOD32 is one of the best, though it's certainly not "free".

Try this, it enables free unlimited updates and it upgrades NOD to full version

No.
McAfee doesn't even come close to being the best,
ranking a mediocre 12th out of 17 .

I hope you at least have a router between your computer and the internet then, otherwise.. lunacy.
