Antivirus Software

[McLovin32]

Any good free stuff out there for download right now? I did a quick search on here and found that a certain poster started this thread awhile back but just got told to eat shit a couple times.

My lovely grandmother (no pics) bought a new laptop over the last few months and hated it because apparently its too complicated for her. So she gave it to me. It's got Norton 360 on it now, but I'm no computer geek. Is that all I need?

Malwarebytes and Microsoft defender, Ditch Norton.

Never used any, never had a problem.

If you don't know the site, don't click on it. Never open an email from an unknown source.

This is the correct answer. Uninstall Norton.

Really bad advice, Computer could spread virus to microwave, Then around the house, Use the smoker in the backyard, May take longer but worth it.

Probably smells better too

I would rather have nothing than have Norton.

Free - Malwarebytes (you have to manually run so it is more reactive)

Paid - Malwarebytes or Webroot

unless you have a pellet smoker...then your web browser will only allow sites like Pinterest and wedding planning stuff

I’ve heard great things about Hydroxychloroquine.

This is the correct answer.
And with a digital download that's $10/year (2 yrs, $20, up to 3 computers), it's a no-brainer.

And, yes, this is legit. Webroot tried to get me to auto-renew for $49 this year. I usually download thru Amazon, but happened upon the Walmart link.
They send you the download link, and email the software key. I did not need to reinstall, simply entered the new software key into my existing subscription on the day it expired, and it loaded 720+ days onto my subscription, instantly.

Never know it's running; very fast; very good.

Mac or PC 2 yr version, all $20. I've seen it vary from $20-30, which is still a steal at $15/yr
