Here is my Free anti-malware software that I used in my computer:

Free antivirus software
AVG Free Edition 2011
Good protection from a reputable vendor. What I especially like about this software is that it stays updated and scans in the background. Little user intervention is needed.

Free spyware removal download
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
Need to get rid of spyware? My current favorite malware detection and removal software is MalwareBytes. It is a free spyware removal tool, and they do have a pro version that you can consider.

Free software to clean up temp files, and other surfing trails and debris.
CCleaner
It is an application designed to optimize the performance of your PC by cleaning Windows registry regularly.
Get rid of all those unnecessary files that slow your computer in just seconds.

Several members already covered useful free tools and approaches — , , and all highlight the same productive pattern: a resident realtime shield, occasional on‑demand scanners for cleanup, and browser/host hardening. The best outcome comes from layering those defenses and keeping the system and backups healthy rather than from swapping many realtime engines.

Use exactly one realtime/resident AV and treat anything else as a second‑opinion scanner. Running more than one realtime engine together can slow or destabilize the system and cause missed or confusing detections; on‑demand scanners (the “second opinion” tools) can be run safely alongside a resident AV. (support.microsoft.com)

Pick products by capability and fit, not by marketing. Check independent lab results for both protection and false positive rates, and prefer tools that offer automatic updating and cloud-assisted lookups (cloud lookups speed detection of novel threats). Balance protection, performance impact, and usability for the machine being protected. (av-test.org)

Practical, repeatable workflow to apply today:

  1. Fully update OS, browser and extensions.
  2. Run the resident realtime full scan.
  3. Follow with an on‑demand scan (second opinion).
  4. Inspect startup items and scheduled tasks; remove unknown entries (use Task Manager and Autoruns for a complete view).
  5. Maintain tested backups (3‑2‑1 rule) and use a standard (non‑admin) account for daily work. These steps preserve recovery options and reduce the chance that cleanup loses important data. (learn.microsoft.com)

Notes and cautions: download installers only from vendor sites or official stores; avoid bundled installers and PUPs; quarantine before deletion when a scanner flags a file (so you can restore if it was a false positive). These operational choices make free tools far more effective and safer over the long run.
