OneDrive
I'm so glad I didn't bother with this. A couple of weeks back after setting up a laptop for Win 10 using an MS account I got an email boasting of the 25GB free space offered by OneDrive.

Which Antivirus to Use?
Having noticed a recent thread about Norton and how it's not a good choice, can someone recommend an antivirus for me. I've been using Norton for a few years now and my subscription is up for renewal soon, but they want ~£54 for it and, from what I've read recently, it doesn't seem worth paying for. Thanks in advance! :)
