Microsoft Security Essentials 1.0
Microsoft realized the dirty truth: Windows is susceptible to viruses! And rather than try to make a buck off this fact, it's doing the right thing by putting out its own anti-malware for free to the masses. It's not great protection, but it's better than nothing. It works great with Windows, of course, in 74 countries and 25 languages.

Panda Cloud Antivirus Free Edition 1.0
This is PCMag Editors' Choice among free anti-malware software and for good reason. Half the detection action happens in the cloud (AKA, over the Internet) so you're not downloading over-sized definition files anymore. There's no update button. It's also great at finding malware. Security expert Neil J. Rubenking called it "the best free antivirus software available."
