I don’t have a lot of money to buy antivirus software and I want to be protected. Is there a legitimate site where I can have PC checked and get free antivirus software?

I forget the website, but AVG FREE is one of the best ones out there.
Go http://www.avast.com then download avast antivirus home edition its free..
You can protect your computer very well with free programs.
You should however not rely on just one program.
Here are some very good programs, all for free and together they will protect your computer very well indeed.
Anti virus and firewall pro
http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/download_firewall.html
or
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html
in combination with
http://www.pctools.com/firewall/
Threatfire is an anti virus, that can be installed next to any other anti virus program on the same computer
http://www.threatfire.com/
This is a very good program, that completely runs in the background
http://www.comodo.com/boclean/boclean.html
Another free program is Spybot Search and Destroy
http://www.safer-networking.org/
But this site does not scan your computer, you will have to install the software and then do the scanning. The first scans will take a long time because the program looks inside every file for malware.
