hi, ive got a few questions regarding anti virus software;
are they all the same?
do i realy need 1?
is spyware the same or do i need that aswell?
i have afriend who uses an antivirus software but he only istalls it after he has problems, and would uninstall it after the problem is fix, is that right or is he just stupid?

at the moment i have a prob with a pc and need some help, ive posted it on another thread. im getting my new pc being built soon and wanna find out more bout anti virus software and spyware if not the same? please can some1 help? thanks.
 
I would recommend Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 or Internet Security 7.0... you need to uninstall old anti virus first then install Kaspersky for 30 days free trial to see if you like or not -- I used Kaspersky Internet Security 7 -- still excellent software include features.
 
ifound this Kaspersky Anti Virus 7.0 OEM 1yr £6.99 inc. VAT would this work?
and will this apply to spyware too so i wouldnt a need an anti spyware aswell as antivirus,
will this fix a problem on my brothers pc or its just for preventing the problem/s of happening?
 
Kaspersky is a very good Antivirus app it will catch a lot of malware /spyware make sure you enable all options under "Threats and exclusions> malware "

A modern pc should be able to run the AV without much of a performance hit, so leave it installed with the real time protection on, Kaspersky isn’t to heavy on the system compared to some.

I would also run a standalone Spy ware program a good free one is Super Antispyware its on demand only i.e. scanning only no real time protection, if you want real time protection check out the pro version which has a free trial

If you want to find out more about Anti virus / spyware apps and security apps and techniques in general google Wilders security forums
