I've been using PC Matic for some years now and prefer them over the Big Brands as it doesn't use a lot of my RAM or Hard Drive space compare to the others - meaning better performance and results! 

 

The Big Brands I've learned Track you as well...

I have never liked how the anti-virus programs worked, but perhaps that is because I didn't know much about them.  The one that comes automatically without payment has worked just fine for me.  I have not had any issues that I know of.  I think it is just called Windows Security.

What kind of computer do you have? I believe my Apple automatically blocks malware.

Fred, I have a PC.  My computer guy recommended Webroot, which I have been using.

I used AVG ages ago and found it to be good. I forget why I switched to Kaspersky. But because of Russian connections was disallowed in the U.S  is my understanding.

When I had an HP my computer gut highly recommended "Avast" and loaded it for me. It worked well.
