Free antivirus that is best in my opinion is www.avast.com - the cleanup stuff you dont really need, ive never used it ...

just go into the control panel and remove a lot of the applications you no longer need or use.

I personally like to use Lavasoft's "Ad-Aware SE."

It can be found as freeware here:

You can choose 'Smart scans" where it will quickly look through your files for spyware and viruses, or 'Full system scan,' which will take longer but ultimately help you to be sure that your system is safe.
