ZDNet has a great software program that is my favorite type - FREE. This easy to use program will check your system for security vulnerabilities from viruses, spyware, hack attacks, and other critters. The download itself is in .zip format, so it must be extracted before installing. For those using Windows XP you merely right-click on the download file and select Extract. You will then be able to install the program. This is a unique software program since it checks all aspects of your security using one program. Enjoy.

ZDNet also states:
