Hi guys. My dad just bought a new computer and he tends to get viruses and malware a lot. I already bought him the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware program. And I heard that you need an Anti-Virus to go along with it to supplement the program.
Which anti-virus is the best out there right?
That's overall performance and pricing.
I am using free Panda Anti-Virus at the moment on my computer. I don't get viruses like he does. So what should I get him?

I had norton and after a while it starts slowing down your computer and taking it over, what i mean by taking over is that it does stuff without your permission and not notifying you. Get avast, its the absolute best.

I use Comodo Internet Security and i am happy with it.It doesnt uses a lot of resources, it has a firewall and a high detection rate.It also has a sandbox and pretty strong HIPS. It has a program called kill switch (more information about it here: http://help.comodo.com/topic-119-1-328-3518-.html ) its smilar to task manager.It also has a virtual kiosk .It also has a gaming mode.You can also make a rescue disk with it.And i think it is the best free AV.
