You could get windows one care beta for 30 days 
Or you could get avg antivirus.
Get avg here or here

On Download.com,
AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 7.2.89 is the most downloaded [freeware] Antivirus program.
Followed by Avast Home Edition 4.6
So try them out and see what you think. I have AVG and think it's fine.

Im guessing he wants a copy of the av which is free and legal
Else he wouldnt have asked here on the forums for a free one but just for a paid one dont you think ?
