    Default Free antivirus protection


    I know this has been beat to death. Is there any such thing? I remember Pappy and someone else saying my Nortons is too big and slowing me down. I bought me and the wife laptops,,,Merry Christmas honey...now I'm looking into virus protection. I don't have a problem at all buying; I just do not want to pay over 100 dollars a year for it. Thanks

    Google Avast........Avast has a great program for free.....they have some you can pay for too. Pappy put me on Avast years ago when I got viruses while using Norton and McCaffee...........I use the free Avast version and have had no problems.

    I've been using ESET Smart Security for my laptop and desktop for several years now and think it has been taking good care of all my computer security needs. It's the only software security I have on my computer.

    Purchase Antivirus and Security Software from ESET

    most new laptops and computers come with a anti virus most of them use Norton throw it in trash it ain't worth a flip!!! now what are you wanting a anti-virus software or anti-virus with a firewall software and what is your OS windows 7 or windows 8 ? I have a software I use that has anti-virus, firewall and also maintenance on my PC I have been using it for 10 years now every since I spent 16 hours rebuilding my PC from a virus I got using Norton !!! I use SystemSuite Professional 14 I have been using it since release 6 I am now on release 14 !!!

    all of the above software will work on both units as far as system requirements what ever you decide to do make sure it has a firewall or purchase a firewall software also !!!
