Free Anti-Virus - simple to use!!

Sunshine_and_Roses

I am completely clueless when it comes to anything technical.

Is there any software I can use for anti-virus, that is easy to install, does the job and does not keep flashing messages telling me to upgrade?

Thanks for any advice

Do you bank with Barclays - the whole kaspersky suite is free if you do.

Other online banking have various programs free.

I have a Barclays current account, but not one I pay my salary into or a fee paying account. Will this still work?

If you open an internet banking account with them, you should get the free suite


"We are offering the award-winning Kaspersky Internet Security suite (RRP £49.99), Kaspersky Mobile Security suite (RRP £19.99) and Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Mac (£39.99) free of charge if you use Online Banking.

"To get free internet security

Log-in to Online Banking, select the Kaspersky Offer link on your At a Glance page and follow the link to Kaspersky's site."

All you need is to have online banking with Barclays, the type of account(s) you have is irrelevant. Kaspersky is well worth £30pa, for free it's really a no-brainer. Takes about 48 hours to get the activation code and it will cover 3 PC's.

If it was your account number then anyone you gave a cheque to could log in...
