If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
Two good free ones are AVGfree and Avira.
One problem I have with AVG is that is seems to sometimes break itself when it updates, or get errors when downloading updates over a slow connection. You then either have to reinstall or address these errors, which if you're lazy like me, might result in some time with your computer unprotected.
I also tried Avira for a while, and I have heard many people recommend it over AVG. But I got annoyed at the popups it displays every time it updates for the paid version. Popups are something I employ antivirus to AVOID, and so I go with AVG, even though it breaks every few months or so.
