FACT: Every computer is vulnerable to Viruses, Malware and Spyware.
No matter what brand your Windows based computer is you are vulnerable to viruses that could potentially harm your computer and can even destroy your files and make your computer unusable. That’s why if you own a Windows computer you need an anti-virus program installed, active, and up to date. Some of these programs can get a little pricey like Norton Anti-virus and PC Doctor, but others are free.
If you need a free anti-virus program than you cannot go wrong with AntiVir.
As I mentioned it is 100% free to have the standard version. The program seems to get a new virus data-base every day, meaning that it will be up-to-date on all of the new viruses. Even when you are not doing a system scan with the program it keeps an active guard running that will protect you against anything that has a potential risk. To me its the best piece of freeware you can own and you cannot afford to live with out it or one of its competitors.
If you know of any better pieces of anti-virus then please leave it as a comment, or if you have any tips to help protect your computer then leave them as a comment as well.

AVG Free is something I’ve been using for years. Recently however, I’m noticing it’s falling behind in the ability to clean viruses. If it can’t be cleaned, it will be quarantined. This can be bad news if a virus has infected hundreds or thousands of files. The pc may not start, documents go missing, etc. In one case, I loaded up Avast instead, and it did a fine job of actually cleaning, rather than just deleting, like AVG.
