I want to try it just for fun. I don’t want viruses in it, but if there is no good free software is there any worth buying? Any ideas?
I am a music newbie.
If it’s free it is because it is not worth selling. If you want to produce music, invest what you can afford and you’ll be glad you did. i tried my hand at a cheap setup in the past and the music sounded cheap + you’re very limited in what you can create.
Buy decent software / hardware with a friend to share the cost. Best advice I can give.

While Mixcraft is a good app the statement that there are no free ones is incorrect..
There are two ways you can "make" your music.
(1) Record your own instruments "live" with Audacity.
Audacity:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Lame if needed to encode to mp3:
http://lame.sourceforge.net/
How to install Lame:

Basic tutorials:

(2) Create your own music using pre-recorded music clips (loops) with Acid Xpress:

More free, compatible loops;

Of course you won’t get all the bells and whistles with a free app that you’ll get with a commercial one but the above programs will give a good result with a little trial, error and practice.
Personal disclaimer.
I’ve been criticized for correcting other peoples errors but a badly worded, inaccurate or at times totally wrong answer is of no use to the asker.
I’m here to help and if anyone objects to a mistake being brought to someone’s attention I offer no apology.
