Posted: 20:36 - 07 Feb 2018 Post subject: Anti-virus etc |
|
|
Just a quick one... Bought wifey a new laptop, Windows based. She's not that great with these things, so need a good basic free antivirus etc. Back in the day I'd run avast and malwarebytes. Nothing got past these. Is it still the same or is there better out there now?
As usual, for those that help. ____________________ 1977 Honda CG125

I agree on windows defender. Free and 365 cover.
I have Avast but have had Norton, Dr. Solomon, McAfee and another I cannot remember. All they do is take money for auld rope and launch updates then you never notice them doing much.
I have not had any machine shut down by a virus attack since 2004 from Libyan PC an Indian guy used. The viruses spread there from pirated software they all share. (Or so it was said.)
But it is good practice to have something rather than be naked out there.
