Link: Microsoft's Free Virus Program

Microsoft now has a free virus program called Microsoft Security Essentials. I have been using for quite sometime - I love it and it is free!

Also www.piriform.com has a wonderful computer cleaner and a file recovery program called Recuva. I lost everything on my flash drive and was able to use the Recuva program to get everything back:

I used MSE for months, then all went crazy. I had to uninstall it because it was 'sudddenly' interfering with other Trojanware & Malware softwares. I did install Microsoft's 'Malicious Removal Tool' and I haven't had any issues with that...

I do recommend that you install Malwarebytes and a Trojanware software. The best thing that I've noticed lately is that I installed a [Free] Registry Scanner & Cleaner program and my machine runs like greased lightning..

For Trojans and Spyware I recommend Ad-Aware and Spybot - Search and Destroy. Both are free and can be downloaded from Twocows.com.
A word of advice: I think it was Ad-Aware that detects Spybot as a bad program. It may be the other way around. Just by pass it. For Viruses I'm sorry, Microsoft has too many fingers in my PC already so I use Avast!. It is free as well. I think it can be found at www.avast.com or you can google it.
