Internet Security Software help
 
My IS software is expiring soon and I have Kaspersky now and will be non renewable. What is a good one and hopefully a free one. I think I have used Avast before, but several years ago. Any help appreciated.

It will depend on what version of Windows your computer is running. You can Google "Free Anti-virus Software" and see what will work for you. There are loads of them. I have McAffee because it came on my laptop, but I've heard positive reviews on the native Windows AV software.

My son is in Network Security in the Army. He has us using Windows Defender and Spybot.

I used Norton Symantec Anti Virus and Malwarebytes. I've used them for years and never had a problem despite a lot of internet usage. However, Norton is not free. Malwarebytes does have a free version, but I'm not sure what the limitations on it are. Personally, I feel that a good security program is worth the expense.

I like AVG free. I've used it on every computer I've ever owned, and have never had a problem.

Mine is free through the internet provider. I have spectrum and they have free security.

We have had Trend Micro for many years and really like it.

I use Windows Defender and Malwarebytes free version.

I've had Trend Micro for years with no problems. However, it isn't free. I've heard Windows Defender works well too.

I use Norton on my computer, yes it cost me an annual fee but I can use it on up to 5 devises (tablet, phone) so it is well worth the price.
