    Do not get Microsoft security essentials it's just doesn't offer good enough protection and I wish people would not recommend it.When it starts to perform like it use to 2 years ago, then it could be recommend again. The lightest running free antivirus software is Avast none of the other ones are even close and it has a very good detection and more importantly it's great at blocking malware that trys to get on a computer.

    Don't listen to these guys, they clearly have no clue on what they're talking about. I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. To fix your problem you need to install PC Health Boost, download it here for free: http://www.healthboostpc.com/

    It's very light and it's the only antivirus/cleaner with a 99.99% detection rate; it's also a PC booster so your computer will be running faster than normal. Install it, hit run and problem solved. It shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes.

    IF you have a legal copy of windows then download Microsoft Security Essentials directly from Microsoft it is totally free and the overheads are better than many paid for packages.

    I recommend Microsoft security essentials(MSE). Its 100% free and it solves all my virus problems. And i think norton is not free. Windows Defender is fine but MSE is better than Windows def. As long as u dont f*** ur computer up with spyware and viruses, MSE would do fine
