CHOOSING ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE

There's a lot of choice nowadays when you want to choose an anti-virus package. In my opinion the ones to avoid are any Norton or McAfee products. I've had numerous computers with these anti-virus packages installed and they were riddled with viruses/malware. No anti-virus is 100% effective but these 2 just aren't worth spending any money on. They will also renew your subscription automatically unless you manually cancel it. Probably the best anti-virus software around is Kaspersky. You'll need at least 1GB of memory to run this software otherwise your computer will run slowly. If you don't like to pay for anti-virus software there are many free options available. The free options I would recommend are Avira, Avast and Microsoft Security Essentials. Also Malwarebytes is by far the best spyware/malware protection around. Its free to run manual scans but if you want real time protection you have to pay (£20).
