My computer "guy" has sworn by and highly recommends using AVG(paid or unpaid, just keep them updated) and another PC guy I worked with says Avast is the best.
On any one day, with any particular lab's test, Avast may or may not be the "best". But its been a reliable trouble free product for me for many years. No scams from the company at all. Never had it goof up a computer as every other one has done at one time or another.
I've used bitdefender in the past--worked great, but i thought it slowed the machine down. but, don't let that influence your decision--it was years ago and they likely have significantly improved the product. no viruses at all with it
tagging this. I need my computer wiped out. just got a portable hard drive and then I can get to work
Looks like I'm going with the Avast Internet Security and since its on sale, 3PCs 1yr for $35 I can't go wrong. Only need the one license though!
