This one is good one and freeware:

Free AV software

AVG

Oops, you already use that one: the other is:

AntiVir

11) Plus! Edition Extra:

Another Free AntiVirus Alternative
Bronson Elliot--- who helps produce the LangaList Archives for us--- sent in a couple interesting items:
Fred: I received today's edition of the AnchorDesk from David Coursey with the following article for an offer to download a full version of Panda anti-virus for free

http://www.zdnet.com/anchordesk/stories/story/0,10738,2914249,00.html
 
I've never used Panda before but I couldn't pass up this offer.-- Bronson
Panda has a good reputation, but I've shied away from recommending it as a free AV tool because the qualification form was quite restrictive. But according to Coursey, the Panda people don't mind if you, um, fudge your answers a bit on the forms to qualify for the free download. As far as I can tell, it's true: Panda has a new PR team, and they seem intent on getting better visibility for Panda. Seems worth a look!

<> AVG Anti-Virus System v6.0 [4.8M] W9x/NT/2k FREE

{Live virus protection} Your PC could get sick quickly. You need
to keep it healthy and virus free, so it won't hurt to have this
virus-zappin' program at your disposal. Use it to scan your system
for any hidden abnormalities. Wondering about a foreign floppy or
CD-ROM? Yeah, it'll scan those, too. E-mail message or attachment
from an unknown source? Well, by golly... it scans those as well.
Actually, it'll scan any digital item from any source. The AVG
interface is simple; you can view a list of known viruses and
review the results from every scan. The shield will make sure new
viruses don't come on board, either. Unprotected clicks can be
dangerous.
