Avast free = no key and no problem

I don't run any kind of antivirus or firewall. You only need a pair of big balls like mine!

Beside Steven, look here for more security: http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/top-freeware-picks-category-editors.htm

Spybot - Search and Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behavior to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies.

Instructions - Install Spybot (Do not install the TeaTimer or SDHelper), select "Update", "Search For Updates", "Search", check the box next to each update and select "Download Updates". When this is finished go to "Settings", "Ignore products", "All products" Tab, right click on "Product", left-click on "Deselect all". Finally select "Search and Destroy", "Check for problems" and after scanning is complete "Fix selected problems". Tough to remove Malware requires a more thorough scan. Reboot your computer into safe mode by pressing the F8 key down during boot up and selecting "Safe Mode" from the Windows Advanced Options menu. In safe mode do another Spybot scan and remove the remaining Malware infections.

Advanced - For better detection but at the risk of false positives you can enable Beta updates: Go to "Mode" - "Advanced Mode", "Settings" - "Settings", "Web update" and check "Display available beta versions". Then run through the update steps again and run another scan.

Notes - The TeaTimer is a resident tool which perpetually monitors the processes called/initiated and changes to some critical registry keys. This is redundant to Windows Defender's superior and less intrusive real-time protection. The Immunization feature will cause IE8 to load slowly. (Microsoft)
