    Note that Security Essentials won't work with Windows 8, if you have it. You need Windows Defender, which appears to me to be the exact same thing with a different name.

    EDIT: Also, if you want a scanner that's not always on for the Mac (I know some people get bothered by that), I used to use ClamXAV before I switched to Avast.
