Help!!! antivirus.

USe a combination of windows live: onecare (free 90 day trial), spybot s and D and avira xp personal edition.

All free.

Aye, Windows Live One-care is great.

However, my icon has been orange now for a few months. I think it's because I've yet failed to back up all my files.
 
I'm a bit late for this, but I'll jump in and say: Kaspersky or Nod32 with spybot s+d.

And stay the HELL away from MacAfee. It changed my internet settings without asking, which is what I would call malware.
 
Ad-aware actually kills spies but not viruses.
