    Most antivirus is VERY good at PREVENTING virus infections. Once your computer becomes infected, it becomes exponentially more difficult to remove the virus. It is possible to remove the virus after the fact, but you know the old saying: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

    Yes, you can install anti-virus after getting a virus. Hopefully the virus you have is not so serious that you computer is already unusable.

    Depends on the virus. Some will prevent you from installing a virus scanner. Other will not.

    You will need to get the name of the virus and edit or re-post with that information and then we can give you an answer. It is different for each virus.

    About the only thing you can do is try installing one and see if it works….

    So I don’t think anyone can diagnose this without actually working on the computer but here goes: If your computer has lost it’s functionality, including the ability to install and run software it’s too late for antivirus. If it hasn’t then yeah, you can install and run it. The key is that you need to update your antivirus first, get a good product, and run the full scan. Be prepared though. The antivirus may delete files that were corrupted and those may be files that your computer uses for certain functions such as internet and sound. Depends what the virus was built for. I always wipe them clean in this case and install the OS again because you never can tell what all it’s effected.
