Microsoft Security Essentials

Yeah, if you're using Windows Me. ROFL!

I second that recommendation. Even though MS purchased it, they know their O/S better than anyone and it’s free, unless your Windows isn’t activated and is past the grace period.

MS SE and Malwarebytes should take care of your needs

Yes on windows security Essentials is far less intrusive than AVG.
It also seems to have a relatively small footprint.
I used AVG for nearly 11 years and I got sick of it always trying to sell me something. It just got annoying.
Malwarebytes is for the really bad stuff, but none has gotten through since I switched to Security Essentials.
Fingers crossed though.

You know that's interesting you should mention MS Essentials because that's what I have my laptops, but I don't use them too often and that's why I installed it on both of them. So far I haven't had any problems.

I also have AVG but I use it on my desktops since I use those more often and my AVG licenses are shared between myself and my daughter.
