I have Malware Bytes. I haven't had any problems at all since I put it on here after a virus hit me when I had AVG. It doesn't slow down my internet browser or lock anything up. It picks up just about everything and it doesn't slow down my computer's speed.  :D

pctools offers several free programs to help you protect your computer and I've used all the pay ones before, these free ones have worked better and been less annoying for me.

http://www.pctools.com/firewall/
http://www.threatfire.com/

Other tools I use to scan weekly:
Trojan Remover http://www.simplysup.com/tremover/index.html  (free trial)
Spybot Search & Destroy http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html   (completely free)

Malwarebytes and Avast are both pretty good and offer free versions.  :thumbsup:
