My dad knows absolutely nothing about computers, and he didn’t buy an antivirus software when he got the computer, and with his constant need of downloading from limewire and other free sites on the internet, I deffinately think he should have one. But he doesn’t wanna go to the store and pay money for something that he doesnt and will never think he needs, so I wanna find a free on on the internet that I can download for him. Any sugestions?
And also, what about a free pop up blocker?
Because we get a pop up like every 2 minutes and its really annoying.
AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition can be described as the most popular free antivirus worldwide. Probably the greatest feature is the free charge for this antivirus. It is free to use for the life of the product. Another great thing is the fast virus update database which also are available for the lifetime of this antivirus. Millions of users are using this antivirus and they trust this great software.

try using avg free it’s a good anti virus http://free.avg.com/
also get some anti spyware try using spyware doctor starter edition it’s also free and it’s got real time protection unlike a lot of other anti spyware http://www.download.com/Spyware-Doctor-Starter-Edition/3000-8022_4-10704508.html
if you’re getting a lot of pop ups it isn’t a pop up blocker you need because it sounds like you’ve got spyware or adware installed they do it with out your knowledge or consent this makes it more important to get anti spyware and run scans as soon as possible also consider getting spybot search and destroy http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html but you have to run scans with it for it to detect adware or spyware but it’s good run it weekly
