Thanks very much.

TrustWare BufferZone Pro Software review - Trusted Reviews

Although that might be a bit out of date (says it only runs on XP), it should give you an idea.

Basically uses virtualisation.

There are a few free anti-virus programs out there, such as AVG and Avira.
They'll give you the basic package for free and try to sell you upgrades typically.
You can also 'steal' one from Torrent, or bite the bullet and pay for one.
But the freeware works fine for me, so I don't see the point in either of the above.
