I guess so, but I'm using AVG Free antivirus myself. You can also try the free anti-virus software from Microsoft -> Microsoft Security Essentials.

I had used AVG premium antivirus and it gaves me satisfactory result. Why not to go with premium when the free antivirus program can't able to scan the system properly. Quick heal is also an availeable option which is free but more effective then any other antivirus.
