What antivirus are you using to defend against unwanted viruses, adware and malware entering your machine? Kindly share if this is free or if you have bought the software. I use Malwarebytes Premium and have my bill came to £29.99 for 1 year of subscription.
 
I use AVAST but also have Malwarebytes when I get worried but that's rare because I'm a pretty safe surfer. I think :D LOL
 
I use McAfee because it comes included in my internet package, so might as well use it right? It is definitely a premium version though because it has all of the bells and whistles imo.
 
I use a premium version of BitDefender, it is quite expensive so I will look at other options next time it is due to renewal. Overall I am very happy with it and it has not let me down. The package I have has licences for 10 devices, so it allows me to help a couple of other people out, such as my parents, by setting up AV on their machines.
 
Windows Defender that's always built into the OS :) Me I use freeware like avast and also not want to use anti-software that eats up so much of your system like McAfee. And my router as builtin paid based firewall :)
 
I used to use Mcafee but it expired like a week or so ago so now I'm depending on the Windows 10 one which I've heard is good!
 
I just use the free version of Avast. It's done a somewhat good job for me so far. I've never thought of changing it because I have no idea who I would go with. Does anyone actually have any good suggestions for free alternatives?
 
I uninstalled mcAfee today and started using the built-in windows 10 anti virus. I'm hoping it all works out well for me!
 
I do not use an Anti Virus. It's a waste of time for me because I do not do anything out of the ordinary on my PC

Ohhh risky. I like it :D
 
I use Avast. I will occasionally install a malware program to help clean things up if something somehow gets on my computer.

dump that junk and just use malwarebytes if nothing else.

For me, I use bit defender and malwarebytes, seems like a solid protection.

Is it free? Can you send me the link as I need one tbh. McAfee is too expensive and I could do with one right now , now that my subscription has ended.
 
Does Windows Firewall blocker or whatever it is called count? That’s the only protection I have on my PC.
 
Yeah but I heard it makes your site slow. That's what worries me.
Oh? I’ve never had a problem with it personally, but I guess there would be people out there who have.
