We have PCMatic and we like it a lot.

The only problem is that I miss the cute blondes who used to advertise it.

Hackers are not invading personal computers. The money is invading-hacking corporate computer systems. Small businesses.

I have McAfee on the work boxes. It doesn’t catch anything. Symantec sort of did once in a while.

Used to go with AVG but switched to Windows Defender a few years ago and haven’t had an issue. I practice safe browsing and use the Avira Browser Safety plug-in with Chrome. My wife uses FireFox with the AVG Site Safety plugin.

If you’re using Windows, I highly recommend you use Windows Defender with the firewall or MS Security Essentials. They are designed to work in tandem with the OS, are a much smaller footprint than third-party AV, and they are updated regularly by MS updates.

I used to use AVG, tried Kaspersky and settled on Avast. So far it has been stellar. It works well together with Online Armor.

Given the possible widespread nature of the problem, enSilo has created a free checking utility called AVulnerabilityChecker and stuck it on Github for anyone to use. Intel, owner of McAfee, and Kaspersky have now fixed the issue, but users are advised to check that they have all the latest updates.

Thanks
