Answer
AVG anti-virus. It is free and very good. www.download.com

Malwarebytes- Anti-malware program. It will scan and remove most all trojans, spyware, etc.

Some other programs I have used in the past:
ZoneAlarm free firewall- if you are not behind a router you should have a software firewall.
Spybot Search and Destroy

Safe download sites:
www.download.com
www.snapfiles.com
