I have two laptops one is older and has no protection on it and works just fine... Mind you I'm very sensible re what I view, download or open... my question to all you lovely and very informed Fab Folk is... Is virus protection on your PC/Laptop really necessary??? I've been given very differing opinions including one that says that Macafee causes more problems than it solves??? Some say the free ones like AVG are just as good as the expensive ones???

Also phones can do just as much as laptops and you don't get the hard sell on virus protection when you get one of those although I know you can do that... What's your thoughts folks???

(I expect to be even more confused btw )

Yes, but only use windows defender, don't pay for anything.

Protection everyone, every time.

Yup windows defender is fine as long as you are using a mainstream browser and not downloading anything naughty.

Free protection I would go for k9 in conjunction with malware bytes.

Use AVG and get spy doctor installed also.

If you have Norton anti virus installed and not yet paid for it uninstall it and get AVG put on it.

Also down load a programme called CCleaner which will delete alot of unwanted data and free up space.

You get what you pay for.I use avg as I dont use computers much if I did I would use a paid service.. Any anti virus software will have conflicts with other software resulting in false positives. on my pcs I used to use avast but it ended up in constant conflict with pre installed windows defender

Never have two - they slow down, conflict and just will not play ball. Only ever one antivirus, and defender is OK

Think I did find that though I'm not great with these things. Pretty sure that's what the old laptop has and it's fine, I'm guessing that's why, cheers m'dear

Using Avast and Windows Defender will obviously cause a conflict, you should only ever use one anti-virus!!

McAfee and Norton are more bother than they're worth, and free examples of them should be the first things that you should delete from a new computer.

Instead, install AVG or Avast free anti-virus. Also install Malwarebytes, and for good measure, install free Ccleaner and run it on a regular basis.

Also, install the mobile equivalents of these on your phone and tablet.

I think virus protection for computers is aimed at the elderly& the not so computer savvy, I've had 2 computers, 7 laptops, 2 tablets and not 1 virus.

Just a scam
