Would be nice if it was that simple. Install an anti virus and you are safe, yes that would really be nice.

Unfortunately it doesn't quite work that way. For some odd reason all those virus writers out there like to screw over peoples machines any way they can. I'll never understand why.

Keep your machine up to date, operating system, antivirus, firewall any and all software. Microsoft is constantly patching holes in the Windows system and its Office software. So it is a good idea to keep up to date.

A good firewall is another way to protect your machine. Alas even those must be kept up to date and on. You'd be surprised how many people install firewalls and then turn them off because they didn't understand what the things were doing.

Spyware scanners have become necessary because of the many idiots putting either extra little programs into software downloads or putting bugs right into their web pages.

To answer your question, NO just putting an antivirus on the computer doesn't make it safe.
