Ok, well thanks for the info; I suspect it probably isn't as simple as that but don't want to get into that...the main point is at the moment I have a windows based machine and no money to spend on anything new (hence my question about it being a free solution)...some time in the future though I plane to investigate linux...

Oh yes, it's simple - do not use windows based browsers or mail clients. An apple mac does not need any anti virus or malware protection.
