My dad is convinced that our computer is fine just with Mozilla Firefox blocking pop-ups, but since this is the third time this computer has had its hardware wiped clean by viruses, I'm not too sure that this computer will last without anything. Every time I ask him if we have protection, he just says we have Mozilla. So I'm confused. So what's the best free antivirus?

i just want to let you know that free antivirus software can not work as perfeclty as paid ones. do not save that money. buying a popular and strong antivirus programme can protect your computer against virus and spyware attack, in order to last your computer life. shield deluxe 2009 is one of the best one. you may have a try!

AVG is the best antivirus software as it has several good features for example internet security and firewall .

I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, I have recently added superantispyware and Malwarebytes. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans Hackers etc. I have just upgraded to AVG free 8.5 and all seems good so far. Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from http://www.download.com/ I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps
