as the thread title mentions, looking for some solid free 'Anti- Virus/Malware/Spyware' software.
it's for my brother's family PC which i've just finished building. not looking for perfect cover, just something that's 'fire & forget' or enough to keep 'em out of trouble so they're not calling me every few months to fix their machine. i know a single piece of software isn't going to do the job (tho consolidation would be nice) however ideally should run automatically in the background with little user input.
after having a quick look at the 'How-to Guide' sticky,
http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1426658
thought these 3 suggestions might cover their PC;
-Avira AntiVir Personal
-Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
-Spybot Search & Destroy
would running these on my brother's PC be enough or should i be looking at something else?
