Antivirus software advice?

I currently use Microsoft Security Essentials. I am aware that it's not as good as it once was and am looking for a replacement. Plusnet offer McAffee free but a recent review in Computeractive gave it quite a poor rating. Of the free alternatives, Avast did best.

Any ideas, please?

I use Avast and MSE, they work together.

AVG and ZoneAlarm for me.

Be careful with anything from ZoneAlarm as they dump crapware on you at the slightist excuse which can be VERY,VERY difficult to remove.

I have used Nortan in its many forms currently using 360.

Despite what I have read elsewhere it causes me no problems never had a virus yet (or that I know off) stopped the kids going where they shouldn't

Avast and Super Anti Spyware. Have used all of the 'Free' anti-virus AVG, Avira but Avast outpaces them all including the paid for type.

You get what you pay for !! Free is Free..

Proper security does not cost that much tbh..

Free 30 day trial you can try before you make your mind up

A couple of sites to have a look at:-

Useful sites...I had a bad experience(performance wise) with Kaspersky and eventually had to remove it. Now trying Bitdefender Antivirus Plus - $30 for the US, £30 for the UK apparently ...

Nothing is perfect, so I use two. For the last three years it's been Webroot secureanywhere complete and Kaspersky Pure 3.0.
