Download Kaspersky Free Trial Anti-virus. When that trial is up, uninstall (Unticking "Activation Data), then Download Kaspersky Free Trial Internet Security. When that trial is up, repeat all over again.

For keyloggers run Superantispyware. This is good for the removal of them. For a permanent, real-time antivirus try Avira or Avast!

i would go for avira because of their high detection rate i wouldnt recommend avast due to its constant updates for every 4hrs

How about AVG? What are the opinions on AVG?

AVG is a resource feeder! it slows ur boot time by a certain percentage Never use Avg as ur virus protection only pros for it is tht they have spyware and virus protection

For trial, use Kaspersky. For no expiration, use avir. To get keyloggers out use Malwarebyte's antimalware and SUPERAntiSpyware. Do not use AVG or avast home. Use the programs listed above. I DONT like McAffee. If you wana buy one, buy one of these: Kaspersky:$79.99, Bitdefender:$29.99, Nod32:$49.99. They are the best rated AV's. I think a good choice would be Bitdefender, though I never tried it. Kaspersky IS AWESOME! Expensive though. I'd go with the Bitdefender.

mcafee is not free but theres a trial i think for kaspersky trial, which i have tried, only cons for it is the difficult feature system! ~~

rofl nod32 uses strict protection, u might as well check ur nod32 firewall and unblock ur connection with steam downloads!

Aznpkerboy said: "How about AVG? What are the opinions on AVG?" Ok detection rate, uses up more resources like another user mentioned, and does not have a rootkit detector in their free version. You are better off getting another free AV than AVG to be honest. I personally used Avira.
