cool so here is the description for anti virus...

you can choose to install either of the following on your PC :

AVG antivirus (which has a freeware edition), available from http://www.grisoft.com ,AVAST antivirus home edition(which also has a freeware edition), available fromhttp://www.avast.com/eng/down_home.html

As noted above, both of these products are available free of charge to the end user.

Instead of free antivirus software, you can also chose to go with one of the more popular/widely used antivirus vendors http://www.Mcafee.com McAfee or http://www.symantec.com Symantec . Both of these vendors are likely to provide you with better customer support compared to the free antivirus vendors mentioned above.

The one that I like the best and turned out to be really good was avg anti-virus which you can download a free version from grisoft.com ...There is also another one at trendmicro.com that you can do a free scan with. Only thing with trendmicro is that you have to do the scan while you are online. The avg one can be downloaded and run the scan when you are offline.
