    For a free anti-virus, I'd suggest Microsoft's Security Essentials. I'd say it's better than Avast :)

    If you use http://ninite.com, it will save you loads of time too.

    I recommend SuperAntispyware for keeping your computer running in tip top shape. It's free and works better than any paid piece of software I've used that is supposed to do the same thing.
