What OS do you run OP? Hopefully you're on Windows 10.

Windows Defender is all I use and I've never picked up a virus or malware with it.

I am the only person on this forum using PCMatic. Everyone here tells me it sucks. I have been using it since prior to 2008. I have never had an issue with it. Some years past they offered an "evergreen" subscription, which was lifetime. I was due for an annual renewal and got the lifetime offer. YMMV



BIDEN SUCKS.

If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

I appreciate all the replies so far. I am looking into them and trying to figure out what I will go with. I feel I am getting overcharged paying for McAfee.

Someone said just use Windows Defender but in the interim that I used it, I ended up with Malware.

Going on 4 years of Bitdefender use.
They had some glitches when going from 2017 --> 2018 but worked them out and gave me a bunch of extra subscription time for the hassle. It updates it's V definitions every hour.
No complaints so far.

This is what I've been using since updating to W10, although I'll run Immunet scanner now and again. Some third party virus programs may actually hinder W10 from running critical updates.

PCMatic is a scam company that bombarded users with relentless ads so much they are trying to go legit.
Not a serious security company, IMO.
YMMV

ESET Security Suite here. Been running it for about 10 years. Running it on multiple computers at home and at my business. It is low on resource usage, easy to use, and I have never had a problem and that included having two teenagers using them for years.

Having said that, I also consider myself a tech-wennie and have taken other steps in addition to antivirus. When my children were young they would screw up the PC quite regularly. Not with viruses but just screwing it up. Used to run an image of their PC every week so I could completely restore the computer in about 15 minutes.

BitDefender and Malwarebytes.


John

The key to enforcement is to punish the violator, not an inanimate object. The punishment of inanimate objects for the commission of a crime or carelessness is an affront to stupidity.

I have Sophos Home Free on our home computer. You don't know it's there until it pops up and warns it has detected something suspicious, or you try to open a page and it says it's an infected site with such and such. The do have a paid subscription version as well.
