What would be the BEST and Most Simple antivirus software and firewall for a total NEWB that has very minimal computer experience? It would also be best if I could find something in spanish. I have a friend who has sent me his computer that had a virus on it so, I told him that I would fix it for him. Well, I may have went the wrong way about doing it but it is working great now. I ran avast on start up and it found over 1000 viruses aka trojans literally. well I just said to delete them all and then when I tried to reboot it would stick on the winXP load screen and try to reboot again. Well,I finally decided to do a system restore and all is good so far. still has all his photos and everything. I would like to put a simple and easy to use firewall and virus scan back on it for him. what would be the best free one thats out there at this time. (possibly in spanish) Thanks for any feedback.
