Computer Question: Anti-Virus programs?

I just spent a couple of hours trying to get a bunch of spyware, ad-ware and trojans off a friend of my wife's machine.

She has teen-age kids and her machine had everything, but I think most of it is gone.

With my very limited knowledge, I think now have her set up with everything except for an anti-virus program.

This gal has zero cash, just bought a new house, yada, yada, so I tried

http://www.free-av.com/

But I could not get it to completely load. (I have no idea why)

Any others anyone can suggest?

Thanks.

I don't normally do a "me-too" post, but I agree with everyone. AVG is the way to go, and I'm saying this as a Microsoft certified trainer.

For a firewall, go with Zone Alarm. As with AVG it has a professional version but the free version has done just fine for me for the last several years. Anyone with a DSL setup should have Zone Alarm, AVG, Spybot and Ad-Aware (these are all freeware) at the least.
