My anti-virus software is built in. To the user. ;) In 20+ years of PC use I have had exactly 1 virus/trojan to deal with and that was the direct result of desperately clicking on a link that I knew to be dodgy in hopes of tracking down a bit of ancient software (a driver for an aged HP scanner). The McAfee AV installed at the time didn't help one jot.
Which isn't to say that I've never used AV software myself, but I generally avoid the big name packages like the proverbial... Norton, McAfee etc, all as bad as each other ime and none of them are 100% effective. The worst case of an infected system I had to deal with - someone elses's - had enterprise ESET installed. We ended up wiping that system and starting over. Personally, Avast was the one I stuck with for the longest period, but it started throwing what I strongly suspected (and in some cases knew for a fact) were false alarms - I suspect that they are happy for you to use their free version only for so long.. So now I stick to the AV wetware between my ears. It's completely free and it has worked perfectly for me for the past 5 years (continuous use) and longer, cumulatively, over the past 20+. :) On 10 September 2014 17:29, John C <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi guys > > I bought a new pc and am reviewing the anti virus software.
