However, if you're running it on your own computer, be sure to download an anti-virus like AVG or Norton and enable the firewall for extra protection. You never know when hackers will strike.
AVG and Norton both suck, AVG is slow like hell, takes 5 minutes to update, and it's in the far bottom of the detection charts.

For free Avira is your best choice, it's creates no noticeable slowdowns both in my current PC and in my old P4, and it has one of the best detection engines (although a little to sensitive). NOD32 and Karspersky are among the best too, if you're willing to pay for them.

Take a look at some tests here, and you can make your own decisions:
