Need a new, free antivirus. Suggestions please?

I currently have Webroot Spy Sweeper (courtesy of my mum) and it keeps detecting the same things over and over.



In particular:



Adware: Purityscan



Adware: virtumonde



Virus: Troj/Virtum-gen



Virus: W32/Virut-W



I need something that I can download to get rid of these ASAP. Someone help please!



Need a new, free antivirus. Suggestions please?antivirus programs



Kaspersky or NOD32 are the best (recent tests at av-comparatives.org). If you want a free anti-virus I recommend in order of popularity, but please choose the right one for you (install only one):



1. AVG Free



a. A simple interface (easier to use than Avast! and Avira)



b. Can detect about 82.82% of viruses



Cons: low virus detection



2. Avast!



a. Real-time protection



b. It has an option to delete a virus once found



c. Can detect about 87.46% of viruses.



Cons: Too many icons and confusing user interface



3. Avira AntiVir



a. It can detect malware better than Avast and AVG



b. It's cute umbrella icon



c. Can detect about 94.26% of viruses



Cons: A very sluggish update

AVG Free is a good one I can recommend. I think the current version is 7.5. Download via this link in fact
