Can I be honest, If you are careful, use a good Browser Like Chrome or Mozilla, Avoid downloading freeware tools and do not visit "Dodgy" websites, you should remain virus free and won't need another cheap programme hogging your CPU. I occasionally clean my system out with Malware Bytes for free for anything that slips into my system and I'm ahppy with just that.£8/£96 for ToughMudder fee.0

I've started using this :
http://www.immunet.com/main/index.html
The free one is on the right of the page.
It works alongside your own antivirus but is cloud based so works when on line ..No problems yet and I run Kaspersky.
Seems a good idea as the first thing a virus will attempt to do is play around with your pc based antivirus.0 -

Honestly, I've never used an Anti Virus in years and I've never been sorry yet. You do need to know what your doing though, and it can lead to trouble if you have friends or family staying over and they start using it for more than just Facebook.£8/£96 for ToughMudder fee.0 -
