   Free ones are almost as good but you will need to be sure to get good products like Avira or Avast for Anti virus and malwarebytes/super antispyware for antispyware. Spybot is not so good anymore dont get it. Pretty much stay away from AVG and spybot. (remember only have 1 antivirus at a time)
   You will also need a firewall i suggest comodo or Zonealarm.
   Download one(ONLY IF YOU DON’T HAVE AN ANTIVIRUS!!!)
