AOL replaces free Kasperky anti-virus software with McAfee
There are a variety of great, free anti-virus programs out there, including ClamWin, Avast! and AVG Free.

The anti-virus software is still free, although you'll need an AOL screen name in order to download the program. The McAfee suite includes a firewall as well as anti-virus features. But if you're running Windows XP or Vista, you might as well just use your operating system's firewall.
Oh yeah, and don't expect to install McAfee Virus Scan Plus on top of your existing anti-virus software just to take it for a test run. When we tried that, we were told it couldn't run without uninstalling AVG Free.
