I use AntiVir. http://www.free-av.com . Freeware for personal usage.
It's the only antivirus that doesn't slow down my 300MHz Pentium.

Has good reviews also.

(search Google Groups , group alt.comp.freeware , for a thread 'What do you
think about AntiVir' or something like)

And in all my computing life, BTW, I never got a virus, just once I got some
spyware. (quickly cleaned with Spybot)
