Free antivirus programs will only go so far, the paid ones offer more complete protection (virus, trojans, worms etc) and have a more comprehensive database to search from. Why is a "paid" program so ethically challenging to you?

An alternative for this one case would be to use a few internet based scanners to identify the virus and either use them to remove it, or once you got the name, google it up to find the nerd way to remove it. Usually a lot tougher.
