My computer guy says ESET is better than Kaspersky and I have used it for abuit 2 years without any problems.

 :)

I have used them for about four years, no problems at all.  My IT man said it was a good one.

Cheers

Thank you for that Kiwi, two of you in favour of ESET then.

I`m in exactly the same position as you GirlGuide! I`ve been using McAfee which expires in April, on the recommendation of my computer expert.

In the past I used AVG free and I`m thinking of going back to it. It gave me no problems and as KGarrad also uses it I`m confident it will be all I need!

Thank you Billy F.  It seems that everyone has their favoured Antivirus for their computer.  :D

It can make the choice of which one to have difficult.  ::)

I`ve been getting pop ups from McAfee saying my anti virus expires in 3 days, even though my pc has it as April.

Last night i remembered that my computer expert said that it would still work after the expiry date, but there would be no updates.

Having said that I still haven`t come to a decision!

We have used Norton for 13 years and are satisfied with it. We recently bought a new computer and they gave us 3 cards for Norton for the price of one. We now have Windows 11 and it isn't as difficult to negotiate as I had expected.
