I'm using Avast on my small Dell laptop, (D410), it works well, however
every once in a while it requires a program update, which includes
making Google Chrome as your default web browser. Make sure you uncheck
that option if you don't want a surprise next time you decide to click
on a link in your email client.

Been happy with it.. but then I got their newsletter
and an article leads with this:
"Microsoft Ends Support of Windows XP
Old operating systems that are no longer supported are a BIG threat.
After April 8, 2014, running Microsoft Windows XP is a public health
risk to the Internet. Because so many people are still using Windows
XP everyone could be at risk."
then it danced into an elaborate article - scare tactic style. geez.
one reader wrote "sure , send me $500 and I'll switch.."
Now what was that about getting a router for a firewall?
Avast is good in my experience and it will continue to support XP for
at least the next 3 years. Here's a link to their announcement.

They have free and paid options but I've never felt the need to go
beyond the free.
