My subscription for Norton expired over the weekend. They want me to renew at $89.95 although I found the same thing on Amazon for $29.95. Was wondering if any Freeper out there got PCMatic or another computer security software and what you think is the best security/best deal.

You can pick several free versions and rotate them, run one one day and another the next and do better than norton. Norton was more trouble than a virus to me. Download.com the old PC magazine is the place to go. SuuperAntiSpiwarare is the one I use the most but the free one has a popup I have to x out each day. If you upgrade you only get 30 days more and they want money. They even have technical advice also.

IMO, AVG from Amazon with AVG’s PCTuneup as part of a package deal.

From what I’ve been told, PCmatic and others advertised on tv are bad and become a virus themselves.

I use MS Essentials with Win7 on both my desktop and laptop.
It is free as part of Win7.

Over the years, I have used seveal AV software.
Many of them because bloatware and took more resources, thus slowing the pc to a crawl.
Many upgrades created major conflicts with other programs.
MS Essentials seems to work seemlessly.

1. Remove, destroy, burn, incinerate, and take a bodacious Obama on anything written by Microsoft or Adobe.
2. Get a computer that runs Unix or one of the many variations.
There, that’ll do it.

MS Security Essentials used to be highly regarded, but they have let it slip.
I use and recommend Avast Free Antivirus.

MS Essentials with Win7That's my take. It's got less adware than AVG too.

I currently use Kaspersky Internet Security. Less headache then AVG. http://usa.kaspersky.com
AVG is free http://free.avg.com/us-en/homepage
Only problem was the interface which was confusing to me and it’s aggressive scan. You can set files to be ignored but it was a hassle. It always worked.
To: GYPSY286
My routine is MS Security Essentials real time and run Malwarebytes once a month as a backup.

Lots of good suggestions here.
I’ve always had great luck with Kaspersky. I think it costs around $40 for a one year, three computer license. (I’ve always gotten it ‘free’ through work)
