Which antivirus program do you use on your computer? I have used Norton and it was a love hate relationship. then my BIL recommended Kapersky, and it's ok. My license is about to expire so I was wondering what everyone uses here.
 
None. I have a MAC, and so far I haven't been bugged! lol (pun intended) I also never click on anything. I think that may help. I deleted emails without opening them. Mine automatically get sent to a spam folder if they are suspicious.
 
I have McAfee on my laptop only because it came with it and then a great deal came up on newegg.com so I decided to stick with it. I typically use AVG or Avast on my home computers because they are the good freeware. I was thinking to try Kaspersky but then the McAfee deal was better.

I only use anti-virus programs for my Windows computers. Never need it for my Linux computer.
 
Currently I'm using Avast because it's free. I liked Eset & Kaspersky much better than Norton or McAfee.
 
I use my computer for work and our tech department requires that we use AVG Free. It's always done what it's supposed to do and has detected and quarantined a few viruses over the years and I've never had any issues. The computer I use now is about 6 years old and still going strong - knock on wood!
 
I have Comodo... my tech guy put it on my computer years ago when he built it... I need something for the girls junk laptop (I hate the thing when I have to use it) I thought I put free AVG on it, but it keeps telling me that my trial is about up and it costs $45 for a year so not sure what I did wrong.
 
Kaspersky.

And peeps with Macs, you might want to get something. It's like saying you don't have insurance because you've never had an accident.
 
I use McAfee and never had a problem. I figure if one of the largest IT companies uses McAfee for security you cant go wrong :)
My FIL uses Kapersky and it was voted number one anti virus program by several PC magazines, he's very happy with it so far

I'm just using what comes with Windows 10 and then if something acts weird I run the free version of Malware Bytes. So far so good. We use ad blockers and Chrome does a good job of warning you if you are going to a page that may have malicious code.
