    most Av programs that have real-time scanning should scan any file that you download to your computer if they are set up right.

    you can go here
    to test your av capabilities.

    good luck.

    Which security programs did you install on your Dads PC that you use?


    as Avast and AVG both free do live/background/resident/real-time scanning of all files, no different to Norton.

    Both available for download here http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads29.html also make a drink have some snacks and give this guide a read as it has great tips for securing your PC How to Protect yourself from malware!
