I use Avast.
Im considering both Avast, and the microsoft ones. Thanks guys.
Beancounter, then what would you consider the best?
This computer came with Norton but it asks me to pay after 3 months. People I know use Nod32 but again not free.
I use Linux, so none needed, but my daughter's Windows laptop has Avast! and AVG. My husband hates Norton, but I can't remember why exactly.
That is probably it.He probably hates it because it got a (deserved) reputation as a resource hog.
However, starting with the 2011 version, the resource requirements were significantly reduced.
Two minds are better than one.Im in 2 minds.
Unless it's changed since I last used it, ad-aware isn't antivirus software.
