What is anti-virus software?
Wikipedia Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antivirus_software

Antivirus (or anti-virus) software is used to prevent, detect, and remove malware, including computer viruses, worms, and trojan horses. Such programs may also prevent and remove adware, spyware, and other forms of malware.

What is Firewall?

Firewall is a barrier to keep destructive forces away from your computer.
He is blocking unauthorized access to your computer and your files in it.He is between protected network and an unprotected network and hes here to block taking anything of your files and computer stuff and also to block malware to go to your computer.

What is computer virus?
Wikipedia Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_virus

A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer. The term "virus" is also commonly but erroneously used to refer to other types of malware, adware, and spyware programs that do not have the reproductive ability. A true virus can only spread from one computer to another (in some form of executable code) when its host is taken to the target computer; for instance because a user sent it over a network or the Internet, or carried it on a removable medium such as a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB drive. Viruses can increase their chances of spreading to other computers by infecting files on a network file system or a file system that is accessed by another computer.
