Go to www.downloads.com, run by CNET, and look for Avast Antivirus, free
edition. I think it runs for a year before wanting you to pay for it.
After a year, download COMODO Antivirus - also free, but a lot bigger than
Avast.
Note: Navigate the screens on downloads.com carefully - It is a great

(especially at work), and if I get stymied, I might try a different

I admit, Free is often the operative word for me in such cases.
I really don't understand either why

I don't visit many websites except for documentation of known software
