This is the one I was suggesting. I had forgotten that it is not so "back heavy" as some of the others, which makes it work better on older computers. Loads more quickly.

I have AVG free & it has worked great. You could go to "askbobrankin.com". He has checked all the security systems & gives a very informative review on them.

My son has an System security business, he used to work for McAfee and he said for my home computer, AVG is very good and its FREE, I've had no problems in the last several years.

I have been very pleased with Avast which is free and seems to catch all sorts of malicious things before they attack -- I have used the software, downloadable online, for quite a few years -- also have Adblock Plus, also free, which has worked very well this last year :thumbup:

I had McAfee on my desktop because it came with the computer but it expired and I loaded AVG--something I hadn't used in years. So far so good but I've used Avast in my older machines and have it on my laptop and have always been pleased with it--it is the free version.

I use avast free Essential from this site. http://www.avast.com/index
I've used it for 5 years, thru 3 computers, after a few years of problems with McAfee, with NO problems now ever. You will receive notices to upgrade to the $ version, but I have never upgraded and don't regret it. Highly recommend avast. :) Jan in VA |
We downloaded AGV last night, our Norton expired yesterday. It was a blessing that this was the topic. Wanted to add that in 2012 we had Mafee and got a really bad virus, when we called them they said for x$ ( I forget how much) they could tell us where the virus came from. We just wanted to get ride of the virus, so we purchases Norton and that would for us for a year, but a free one was worth a try. Thanks :)

I agree with you - used it for 6 + years with no problems and no cost.

almost time to choose security software. { I'm tired of all those expiration notices from the company that was downloaded before I bought this thing}----bummed I can't just purchase it at walmart!, but they don't carry it any more! now I have to make another choice & i'm not certain which is the best to go with--there are way too many reviews to go thru-- What's YOUR preference/experience with your security? aren't they basically the same? is there a "stamp of approval" I should look for?
