Yes, antivirus software is a must for those computer connected to the internet. And not just anti virus, you also must have firewall software, anti adware, anti spyware. Imagine, you can get a virus in just 8 seconds of online, yes, that's is how fast. Protect your computer with all of these. Good luck.

as long as you don't download you need worry about viruses
your anti virus software should be updated

If you want advice from a computer professional
read this article, it is designed for beginners /novices.
But yes, you need antivirus, but some are better than others and you also need other protection too, such as anti-spyware, firewall etc.
Again this article tells it in English. Hope it helps/

If we are browsing in the net then we should be having an antivirus which updates automatically and a firewall. Anti-spyware software should also be there in the system. These days you never know when and where you get a virus attack. So it is better to take all precautions before you are hit by a virus.

I have McAfee AntiVirus on my pc and Norton's on the other. I also use other programs to keep my computer safe, clean, and running fast... SpyBot, Spyware Blaster, Abexo, TweakNow. We download a ton of files every day, so it's important to keep all the problematic filed out.
