Best Anti-virus
For computer, I mean
I've had Norton on auto-renew for years but is it the best, and at £99 p.a. is it worth it?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Best Anti-virus
I was with Norton then changed to BitDefender. Personally wish I’d stuck with Norton.

Windows Defender (if it’s a Windows device) it’s free and updates definitions almost daily.

Re: Best Anti-virus
I didn't realise that anyone except businesses paid for anti virus nowadays.
Unless you happily click on every link and file that you see then the built-in Windows Defender is perfectly fine.

Re: Best Anti-virus
Honestly bill as many of my friends who work in the tech industry like to say the best anti-virus is common sense I personally do not pay for an anti-virus and encourage others to not do so as well as many of them are sketchy at best and Windows Defender is now competent in its own right as long as you have common sense and question anything that looks remotely suspect the likely hood of you picking up a dangerous virus or anything seriously malicious is very low.boatshed bill wrote: ↑Wed May 10, 2023 5:43 pmFor computer, I mean
