ChrisJones 7,975 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I use em because they're peer reviewed and pretty damn good. Each to there own. For the amount of time I spend behind a keyboard I struggle to justify paying for an ISP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terryd 8,954 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 yep avg does drag down some of the older systems and even some new. Avast does perform better. The paid products tend to be over kill and cause more problems than they solve at least the home user ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

terryd 8,954 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 We see lots of machines where a paid for home anti virus has caused issues. They have lots of bells and whistles tend to be over kill. The paid avg internet security could some time cause mayhem with the networking or used to. get lots of pc's with a paid Norton or McAfee still riddled with spyware. The business range tend to be much better. This is one of the best we have found so far http://www.eset.co.uk/Business/Endpoint-Security/Endpoint-Antivirus works really well for virus and spyware but is still light weight and doesn't break any thing. Plus they have good uk support Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BGD 6,437 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I don't use any firewall or AV software, if you run adblock and are smart about your browsing you don't really need them TBH. Waste of money if you pay for them and most of the free ones are worse than the malware you're trying to block! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
