If you're concerned about it, use a spyware program like MalwareBytes along with it. I also do an off-list scan with a anti-virus scanner such as Sophos on a weekly basis. There are lots of people including Windows Secrets folks that use MSSE. It is certainly a lot more accessible and not a system resource hog as some other programs.

The most accessible virus protection I currently know of that is free is Microsoft Security Essentials. I'd stay away from that program as it misses a lot of threats.
