Microsoft is offering a free antivirus program called Security Essentials. It includes protection against viruses, spyware and other malware. I've just begun testing it in order to see if I would recommend it. The installation was simple, hassle free and it seems like it runs smoother than AVG, especially when opening documents in Microsoft Word (AVG occasionally hangs when working with documents). Security Essentials also has a "very good detection score" of 98.4% according to this article on PC World.
You can download Security Essentials for free from Microsoft here.
