I have learned the same thing. NO NEED to buy expensive antivirus and have to keep renewing it every year. I have so many friend that have gotten viruses and trogans and other stuff. They pay for anti virus. I don't!!! I am on the computer a lot and I do not worry about it!!! If you do get a virus a lot of places you take it to just download the free removal tool and charge you a big fee!!
