There are a few out now, but one of the best is AVG.

Download it here:

As well as the AVG free antivirus programme that DonNagual recommended. I`d also recommend the free Sygate firewall programme. They work very well together.

You can get the Sygate programme from HERE

I would suggest Kaspersky. That is one of the best Anti-Virus programs you can get out there. (It may not be free though - you may need to check).

I have Worked as a Technical Support for SYmantec and McAfee and my advice is that there is no other virus Scan that match with McAfee DOS Scan .
