If you really value your security I would go for a paid for anti virus suite. McAfee is my preferred choice. Seriously, as they say there is no such thing as a free lunch, you really do get what you pay for. If your free suite slips up you will really regret not spending about £30. You can get McAfee free for 12 months if you are with certain ISPs. Best of luck whatever you do.

The Leopard. I think McAfee is totally sufficient on it's own. From the help menu "Use the SystemGuards pane to configure protection, logging, and alerting options against unauthorized registry and file changes associated with Windows files, programs, and Internet Explorer. Unauthorized registry and file changes can harm your computer, compromise its security, and damage valuable system files."
