Go with Advast, it's free and also download malwarebytes for spyware removal.

It's not bad and does a good job of protecting a computer that isn't infected.It's not that great at removing malware so if you get infected you will need another tool to help get rid of malware.Since it has to have a internet connection to really work right I don't care for it.Avast,AVG, Avira, or Bitdefender all have free version and would be a better choice

It's OK but according to "AV Comparitives" independent antivirus testers it has the 2nd highest rate of False Positives;

Yes
When it originally debuted, Panda Cloud Antivirus was notable as a free security solution for two reasons:
Panda traded on its reputation as a solid security suite vendor making its first foray into the realm of freeware, and the program attained its goal of freeing up system resources by putting much of the program's heavy lifting in the cloud. Now we can add a third reason to the list: it's now known as an effective alternative to the security powerhouses.
An April 2009 review found Panda Cloud Antivirus 1.0 to be clean, fast, simple, easy to use, and with good detection rates. The same review scored Panda 98.87% in malware detection and 71.4% in malicious URL detection. Its overall score was 85%, a strong protection factor considering it is freeware.
