Antivirus
 
Can anyone tell me of a good free antivirus to download, I'm tired of paying big bucks for an antivirus

I know of a good one, but it's not free. I consider it cheap compared to getting a virus losing a bunch of data and having to have it cleaned up

AVAST. I've used it for yrs..also MICROSOFT SECURITY ESSENTIALS

We also use AVAST. It works just fine.

We run Microsoft Security Essentials often, Malwarebytes anti malware (the free version) weekly, and Ccleaner (the free version) and clean out all the crud on a daily basis. Haven't had a virus on a laptop or PC since we did switch to Gmail and got off Yahoo too so that may have something to do with it.

It's worth the price for good virus protection. I'm a Norton fan.

the free version of Avast. Used it for years. I also use the free version of Malwarebytes.

Free Avast is great along with running Malwarebytes Free once a week along with Ccleaner is great advice.

Two "help specialists" from Apple recommended malwarebytes.
