There are a couple of different programs that you should have on your computer. One is a virus checker and the other is a malware protection program. I haven’t experienced (yet) a program that can do both well.
Virus Checkers -
Probably the most popular ‘free’ virus checker is AVG - you can find details for that here.

We use the paid version. I have used all the major programs and I tend to like AVG the most because it doesn’t hog your system resources.
I looked for a non biased comparison of the various programs, but I didn’t have much luck.
For Malware and Spyware we use Spybot Search and destroy which you can find here -

One IMPORTANT note - when downloading either of those free programs you will be taken to a download page. Those pages have advertising. Be careful ‘not’ to click on an ad, but click on the actual download.
No matter what you choose for your software, it will do no good unless you keep it updated and schedule a scan for infections.
