          If with BT you can get free software depending on your broadband package, I have free McAfee on my laptop.

            I have removed AVG and Malaware as they were constantly slowing down my PC

            Now I use Microsofts own Free software and PC has never run better

                Are there people on street corners handing out iPads. I suppose all those with iPads have 500 quid iPhones too...

                  I run the full version of AVG, not the cheapskate free version. Absolutely fine here.

                    The free Avast works OK. The missus and I have a shared (paid for) two year Avast subscription and it works well, with regular updates.

                        I dont use **** all, anti virus software is a virus in itself as they are very parasitic!

                        Sensible surfing and common sense work better IMO

                        All you need is Windows security essentials to stay safe
