Good advise Tom, unless one is very knowledgeable with reference to the in and outs of the computer world you need protection. I just helped a person over the phone who had a virus lockup her computer because she had no protection. She had a HP with Vista and the OS had a recovery partation so I help her put her computer back to factory. Now all them updates. I use AVG Internet Security myself and it does the job.If I was looking for a free AV, then I would use MSE and MalwareBytes.
If I was looking for a paid AV, then I would realise the errors in my ways and use MSE and MalwareBytes.

That's a bit overkill.Mse, threatfire "turned up to 4", vista firewall, uac, dep, lua, spywareblaster, and sandboxie "with rights dropped delete upon exit".
I m currently trying Panda Cloud AV.
Very simple and straight forward.

Quick scan nearly takes 5 mins.
Using around 30 MB during scan and less than 15-20 MB when idle.

It wont remove. It will neutralize it. You can always restore the file if its a false positive.I m currently trying Panda Cloud AV.

I tried Panda Cloud and its simple and CPU friendly. But when there's a false positive "virus", it removes without asking you anything, which is sometimes not a good thing.
MalwareBytes would be a good addition to your system.i use avast internet security which has the antivirus, antispyware, antispam, and firewall in one suite. I also use ccleaner and defraggler for my registry and file cleaning
