Good free programs include avg and avast. Avast is my personal favorite (had problems with avg not removing infected files). Other than that, many sites have free online scanners that work through activex pluggins like McAfee's free scan (http://us.mcafee.com/root/mfs/default.asp?cid=9913).

Avast is the best currently.\nYou can get it here:\nhttp://www.avast.com/\n\n(Avast (Home edition(free)) is the only anti virus which on my PC has tracked every single virus. I tried norton (many times it failed especially when the virus was on a pendrive(usb v1.1 @ 124 kb/s) (it usually ended up locking my system despite its high system specs)  ,macafee (Slowed the startup and boot up times), avg (took too long to startup and at times failed to update unless the system was restarted )\nEdit : Avast also support Vista and soon will support x64)

Better to use AVG or Avast. Both are free and don't hog resources like McAfee and Norton.

I have tried AVG but alot of the viruses they just tell you about, and dont delete. Go with the gentlemans advise on AVAST that is what I use now and it is fantastic!! You only pay if you are a buisiness, free for home use. Registry key is free also.
