If you are worried about your computer infected with a virus, I would highly recommend that you install the following open source programs:

Microsoft Security Essentials- download it from microsoft website. It will get rid of viruses, spywares, etc...
or
avast- free antivirus
or
comodo-free
Remember you should only have 1 antivirus running in your computer.

Secunia- search for it on google.com This program will search for vulnerabilities inside your computer.

Good programs, but none of them are open source.

Open Source Software is software for which the underlying programming code is available to the users so that they may read it, make changes to it, and build new versions of the software incorporating their changes.
