My wife has a PC, because I didn't want to spend the money to get her
a Mac:-). Seriously, all she does is e-mail and a bit of web surfing,
and her Acer laptop works fine. It came with McAfee virus protection,
but it has expired and they want $40 a year to continue. Sounds like
a lot. Is there a better option? Something inexpensive that I won't
have to set up? Something that will install itself if I go to the
website and click on it? I have no idea how one installs software on
a PC, although I suspect it's not very hard.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.
I think $40 a year is not un-reasonable.
I don't use McAfee because I think I've found a more cost effective
solution. The free edition of AVG appears reliable and adequate.

Click on the "DOWNLOAD NOW" link and follow the prompts. It's as easy as
that. You may have to make some decisions during the setup, but it's
mostly completely automated.
I would recommend going to the McAfee control panel and turning it off
before installing AVG free, just to prevent them from conflicting.
If I ever get to the point where I think I need more protection than the
free version of AVG, I expect I will upgrade to the paid version of AVG
- $49.95 for TWO years subscription.
