Anti-virus software with cool GUI. Works very well and have saved my butt several times. Works with the web and email. Even a screensaver that scans your hard drive when idle. Brilliant.

Another free Anti-virus software edition. I have only tested this breifly and opted for Avast! instead. Supposed to be very good.

Not an Anti-virus Software as such, rather an application that checks software behavior and reports it when suspisious. Works well in addition to Anti-virus software.
