You can use free antivirus on each machine such as AVG or Avast. I use
F-Prot AV on my Windows machines - $30 for single-user license (yearly)
and you can put it on 4 machines.

I use Trend on all my machines, it's a little more expensive than free, but
has never let me down, has a very nice firewall and is supported. They sell
3 copies on their site for $89, www.trendmicro.com
