The antivirus programs have a big role in providing your computers with security and protecting it from viruses, worms, and Trojan horses and other "invaders" that can attack a computer. The role of an antivirus program is to detect the presence of viruses in a computer, to disinfect the files, delete or quarantine the ones that can't be disinfected and prevent the computer from being contamination.
Most of the companies that produce antivirus have online free tools for scanning computers for viruses. If you don't have an antivirus yet and can't decide which one to buy you can enter their online sites and try the services for free, then decide what to use. I use McAfee and it works just great for me. I use to use Norton's but when my computer was acting kind of funny one day, I run McAfee and found viruses that Norton never even detected.
