Desktop applications
Download email clients, browsers, office suites or even an entire new operating system. Many, but not all, of these applications work very happily on a Windows desktop.
All the software listed here is free, so no more paying for licensing and updates. Updates are often a matter of one click and a password to update your desktop software.
Web: Firefox or Chrome
Email: Thunderbird or Zimbra Desktop
Office: OpenOffice or LibreOffice

Note: Many people using GNU/Linux tend not to bother with antivirus software as the safer design makes it much less vulnerable to malware like viruses etc. You can scan for malware etc using ClamAV and if you want a copy for Windows then that is free too: Immunet
