Which FREE Anti Virus

jims-terrano · 27-08-2018, 09:49

Hi guys, I’ve not used a free version anti virus for years but now my old company has gone bust access to a free license went too.

So I now find myself hunting a freebie down, I know in the past I’ve used AVG and Avast but no idea what these are like nowadays.

Cheers

I use bitdefender OK it is about £30 a year but has not let me down so far, Rick

I use Bitdefender too. I have found it excellent so far. Avast and AVG are still good bar the ads/nags to get a paid subscription.

What operating system are you running ?

Dropped back to a factory version of w7 on my laptop as w10 died for the second time on my laptop. In fairness don’t use my laptop much these days.
