What were the free anti virus programs you could recomend

Hi,

First, how is your computer running now?

Hi,
seems to be better but I think there is stuff I can get rid of to increase disk space besides plane old junk.
http://pastebin.com/TVRgdttp
Thanks

Hi,

Please download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop

• Please double-click TFC.exe to run it. (Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator).
  
• It will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.
  
• Click the Start
  button to begin the process. Depending on how often you clean temp
  files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute
  or two. Let it run uninterrupted to completion.
  
• Once it's finished it should reboot your machine. If it does not, please manually reboot the machine yourself to ensure a complete clean.

TFC finisher

what free antivirus real-time and firewall would you recommend and E-mail check????

I would recommend Kaspersky (Paid) or Avast (Free). As for a firewall, I would recommend Comodo.
