Computer security

Talk to me about your computer's security.
Who doesn't like a new thread on computer security!

Me McAfee's about to expire and (i was thinking) rather than renew, go elsewhere.

Anyone have enough knowledge of computer security and/or have security on their compooters that they're happy with?

Any free securities worth having?

On @wmrcomputers recommendation, I have been running Windows Security Center and Malwarebytes (free) for many years now, with no problems.

Malwarebytes and whatever Microsoft are offering.

ETA As they say, great minds, Gramaisc, .....

Windows Security Center

whatever Microsoft are offering

Seems to be called Windows Defender now.

Agree with the above, unless you peruse exceptionally dodgy websites it'll be enough.

no need to be paying for AV. the above suggestions will be fine.
you'll still get unwanted stuff unless you know exactly what you're downloading or installing.

Thanks for the input, unanimous by the looks.
