Check with your bank - many give free software away with their Internet banking!

Most anti virus packages cost money with annual renewal fees and the free versions of them don't give full protection.

My business does computer repairs and for our customers we install free of charge "Microsoft Security Options" which you can dowload for free if you simply Google it.

We tested it against several of the chargeable packages including AVG, Norton and Bullguard and found it to be as a minimum as good and in some cases better than the equivelents.

I wouldn't think of using any other option nowadays.

MSE. You wouldn't even know it was running. In my opinion as Microsoft wrote windows they'll know how to protect it better.

Any proper computer tech will always say MSE, since it's last itteration AVG is not terribly well thought of.

For Gods sake don't let anyone convince you to try even a trial of Norton.

We got a free trial of something with Sky. Norton maybe? It was horrible. Every time you did something on the computer it was like it froozr up for a few seconds like it was checking it or somethin

Avast Internet Security is good but not free - unless you have the little gizmo that gives you a free licence until 2050

correct, and MSE does let virus's in both laptop and my dads pc had them last year, had to wipe pc and just about recovered Laptop. since using avg and malwarebytes had no problems, look at installing hitman pro as well as great if ever anything slips through.
