AVG has a full suite of free anti-virus, anti-adware and anti-spyware.

Also, put a decent firewall on there (don't rely on the MS firewall. I recommend ZoneAlarm.
McAfee and Norton are two of the most well-known, with Norton probably dominating the market. You can download Ad-Aware and Spybot free. Not so for Norton, but when you consider it is for a full year's protection, it's not so bad. If you keep checking the ads in your local paper and do some searching online, you might catch a deal. I recently bought a two-license subscription with Norton for $9.99 (it was a one-day sale).
