If you have Windows 8 or 10 you do not need to download or install any antivirus program. Microsoft has included a free antivirus program called "Windows Security". Be sure to uninstall any other antivirus programs before trying to use it, such as Norton, McAfee, or AVG. Then restart your computer.

For older computers - Below is a list of free antivirus programs, although most try to sell paid versions. Antivirus programs can be tricky to install, so you may want to get help with it.

Microsoft Security Essentials 64 bit for Windows 7

Microsoft Security Essentials 32 bit for Windows 7

AdwCleaner - good scanner but does not give background protection

Malwarebytes - free trial for 14 days, after that the free version scans only

Tdsskiller - scans for root kit viruses

Panda Cloud - good but hard to install, uncheck optional stuff, skip email address
Avast

AVG

McAfee Antivirus removal tool (when you can't uninstall it)

Virustotal.com - upload files and webpage links to scan for viruses
