whats the cheapest antiviral subscription charge

fama

Disregarding the free stuff what do you pay for subscription.
I know the initial package can be cheap,but what about continuation?
eg.I have a trial of symantec corporate antivirus running out
but the subscription is £64 per year.

Why would you want to disregard the free stuff when most people (including my mate who was in charge of global IT Security for a very well know news agency) swear by the stuff for their own computers and say they are much better than norton, mcafee etc?

Agreed, the free stuff is made by people who care about computer protection the off the shelf packages are created by people who care about profits. I used Norton but didn't bother renewing it, I also used the one from Panda but that just drained my system resources on startup. Now I use Zonealarm, MS' antispyware software and ad-aware, I haven't had a major problem since!

You'd be surprised at how much more the 'free' packages pick up compared to the ones you have to pay for.

I've used quite a few AV softwares and I think NOD32 is the best. You can see how it competes with the other softwares in its comparison charts.

I like it because its non intrusive, small and doesnt use much PC resources.. however it detects as many if not more than the leading ones like Mcafee and Norton.

£20 a year subscription.

ESET NOD32.

I totally agree with greyster, NOD32 is and has been for years simply the best !
