Which Anti-Virus Are You Running?

[Bigmallly]

After recent problems with my PC, I decided to have a look around AV's & have decided to run 2........."Windows Defender" & " 360 Total Security"...............some AV's don't like to run alongside others but these 2 get on really well & they are both free. Anyone interested check out this:

avg free WORKS OK MALLY BUT I HAVE MALAWAEBITES AND AVIRA

Norton for me!

^^^^^^^^^^And me but remember to come out of the annual auto renewal it's always much cheaper in PC world, £18 this year instead of £70 plus from Norton.

I used Norton in the past, but ditched them after the auto renewal rip off. Use windows 10 defender and MacAfee free from BT, so basically I got mine for free too.

Norton for me too. 10 devices for £40. No auto renewal.

When I upgraded the operating system to Window 10, I tried to re-install the free McAfee that comes with BT but I was having problems with their web site. Talking to a UK IT support person (yep BT are bringing it back home from India) who was not working from a script, it turns out that Virus Protection is actually built into Windows 10 and the support person said you can install McAfee but quite frankly the protection supplied by Windows 10 was more than adequate and that's all she uses.

I do however run Mailwarebytes from time to time, and CCleaner on a regular basis.

No auto renewal here either, if you buy from the store, how many devices does it cover and do you get online help? They have helped me once online in the past and it's a bit disconcerting watching them take over your computer! Well worth it though!

I am included on family package McAfee

Have used Avast Free for years on both Windows and OS X (Apple) with no problems. Anyone who still says Macs don't need antivirus is deluded. There have been successful attacks!

Also run Malwarebytes on both.

There's an informative article in non-geek English at What

The two linked articles in it about the jiggery-pokery the antivirus companies get up to are also worth a read.
