There are some online that are free, but be careful because sometimes they are not the greatest. Your internet provider can probaly provide it very cheap, so thats another great idea.

Avast is a free one. I've had it for a little while but do plan on getting something paid for eventually

Yes, there are several. I use Avast myself, but here is a comparison, and a place to safely download them all.
