Plan B Forum

For virus protection? I have windows7 and my protection is due to end soon. I am looking for something free or at least cheap that does a good job.

Suggestion?

Teh? Hen is that you posting under Gob's name? She was the teh girl. Tell her to get her arse here and post. Unless you are her, in which case get your arse back here and post.

And thanks for the advice.

Taht was em.

I use the free version of Avira Anti-Virus and the free version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

I used them when I was using Windows 7 and it also works with Windows 10.

They kill bugs dead.

it also works with Windows 10.

OMG microsoft got to Joe, replaced him with a pod born relica.





Thanks for the advice pod-replica Joe.

Oh man, that image gave me a Steve Flashback...

He used to post that one a lot...

ETA:

I use the free version of AVG and also the free version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware that Joe mentioned...

Thank you for adding something useful.

You ever hear from Steve? Or Gwen, Or good old Editec?

I have been using the free version of Avast for many years and have been very happy with it - my key criteria being that an antivirus program not be a memory or processor hog. You just need to be vigilant never to fall for the free trial offers of the complete version, which pop up on my screen at regular intervals.

...but my real computer is an iMac...

Surprisingly enough, no...

You may recall that we didn't part on the warmest of terms...

But I'm sure Strop keeps in regular contact with editec; thick as thieves those two...

I seem to recall Editec spent time in a psych ward and mistook Gob for one of his keepers there, something along those lines.

I use Kaspersky.

I'm using McAfee but maybe I'll try one of these other suggestions
Thank yew

I use Panda FREE antivirus on my Windows 10. It appears to be doing what I expect so I doubt if I'll be dumping it for anything better. Here's a review:

Ditto.  Annual update through Best Buy works out to be less than 25¢ per day.  Give up one decaf/medium foam/gluten-free vente caramel mocha frappuchino from Starsucks every month and you've got it covered.

You said starsucks ? I use what my ISP provides for 2-$3 a month (currently AVG ,I believe )

Me too joe. I use nothing at all beyond the security the factory puts into the MacBook and the Apple Airport wifi system. I have been assured by the local independent Apple expert that I don't need anything else if I use common sense. But the stories about 3rd parties hacking the iPhone make me wonder.

I have been using bitdefender--around $3 a month.
