not nessicarily, anit virus's merely reduce the possiblities of getting virus's, but it doesn't meen it will prevent anything from happening for sure. but even if a virus did get to your computer, you can use those anti virus programs to repair it, and if that doesn't work, try the system repair option in the control panel under performance and maintainance, it'll bring your computer back to its previous health and statis.

so with all that, i wouldn't worry about it, because accidents could be fixed.

Yes
I don't know about all viruses but my AVG has at least warned me before downloading....
Yes. Most antivirus programs usually have real-time protection, meaning, they can monitor everything that's happening on your computer, even access to your computer's registry.
