First, you must remember that for the most part free anti virus programs are not mint to be used for long term use, instead, they are generally only supposed to be used temporarily to get a feel for their program.

Most of the time, with a free version you will only get part of the virus signatures and some of the features, but not all or it wouldn't be free. I guess however, if you just could not afford an anti virus program say a couple a weeks or so it would be better to have a free version than nothing at all; so here are two free anti virus programs for you to choose from but remember, these aren't full version the chances of you getting something malicious is still pretty good.

AVG 9.0 here
