best free antivirus for virus prone person

[mc141]

Ok my wife gets a virus every month what is the best free combo to use.free software only. i always use zone labs firewall although she always says yes to every thing. Where as i read every pop up and click acordingly i normaly use avast and zone labs but i am carefull. I need something that will be idiot proof. With a strong emphasis on idiot proof. Im tired of re imaging her drive every month.

I wouldn't recommend that though, I got ratted whilst using that and only removed it because I knew how.

Avast Free, Adblock on the browser being used, if you really want to go all out you can pick up something like Avast Internet Security or Sandboxie, Sandbox the Browser off and go from there?

AVG free and configure it not to ask user for any input and let it handle browser searches.

One of the above antiviruses and then also get malwarebytes and web of trust, I call it the three hit combo

- antivirus of choice

-malwarebytes

-weboftrust

 

You are less likely to get viruses and you will get warning left right and center to prevent the chance of it happening, also it blocks screamer websites so fuck the teamspeak guys with their 420yolo

Unfortunately no software ever made can protect the user from themselves.

Is Linux an option or no? I believe remote access is possible in that case while not having admin rights. Ubuntu is quite easy to use also.

[juretrn]

Mcaff- *gets Chuck Norrissed*

But really, how about a combo of Malwarebytes' and AVG?

Sigh... I guess a more drastic option would be to do nothing when her computer gets infected, given the assumption that this IS an option.

 

Sadly, there is no protection from user error/idiocy unless the user is fixed and educated entirely.
