    Though i wouldn't recommend the Windows OneCare Live ant-virus / firewall that you can download and install.

    Bear in mind that the hard disk scan can take many hours, and on my box it says it has found two viruses towards the beginning of the scan, which magically disappear at the end of the scan -- and that's before you've fixed anything!
