Title: Computer software virus protection
Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on October 20, 2011, 06:47:50 PM
I have Norton 360 security and virus protection. My subscription expires in three days. I have Norton loaded on three machines. Desktop and two laptops. I have used Norton for 4 years now. No problems.

Should I pay the $70.00 and renew with Norton? Or should I install another product like McaFee or something else?

What do other CRS members use?

Norton 360 provides server space for backups and I use it.

I use a free one that I get from Microsoft.

I had been using AVG on my laptop and desktop. When I bought my new computer last Friday, I was given 6 months of Kaspersky and the option to buy the rest of the year. I have used Kaspersky before and I like it. I liked AVG also.  I've used Trend Micro and liked it too (Guess you can tell, I change anti virus programs often - if I get a good deal on one, that's my choice for the year!)
Also use Malwarebytes. It's a free download and very good.

Thanks Terrie and SC. I have used AVG before and it was good. I have also used Windows Live, but it was not the free version.

Here is a link to the free version.  It works fine.

Microsoft Security Essentials (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security_essentials/default.aspx)

I have used it for a week now and I like the results.
