I have two programs that are easy to use as I am new also. Eagle by cadsoft. ExpressSCH & ExpressPCB are also easy to use. Both versions are freeware. Eagle is freeware and you can upgrade later on and buy a  license it if you wish only.
There is another web site on yahoo just for ExpressPCB. If you cannot find these web sites let me know thru post and I will guide you to them to investigate. Kevin
