I bought Norton Security Deluxe for 5 devices in Argos, you can buy it online and download it a lot cheaper than they charge you for renewing; a bit like car insurance if you don't shop around at renewal time they try to sting you!

This may divide opinion, 3 years ago I bought Norton 360 and had a good deal now the subscription is due up in 65 days time, the cost to renew is £74.99 some will say what price do you put on PC security but I feel that is a tad dear,what does the good members suggest. Thanks in advance Ian |

I use Panda free antivirus program. If you download a file with a virus it deletes it before you can open it! I have put this one in to around 30 machines with no problems at all. |

If you use Windows 10, it comes with Windows Defender, which is regularly updated and which managed to find issues that AVG, which i had used for years, missed completely. I now use it exclusively (with weekly checks using MalWareBytes). My wife, who has no computer knowledge whatsoever, has not managed to screw it up yet. Both solutions are free. |

I bought Norton antivirus last Black Friday online from Currys, PC World. It was around 20pounds sterling and was posted to me in the UK. I just waited the couple of months my previous antivirus had to run and then installed it. It covers 10 machines so our android devices are also covered. |

There are plenty of decent free anti-virus programs about. Two are mentioned above. I used to use Avast and only moved away as it was annoying me with its pop up ads to buy another version. I now use Bit Defender free. |

I use ESET Smart Security,which I bought following a similar discussion on a forum. In the past I used Norton, but it really slowed down my computer. Eset is really good and has no noticeable effect on my computer. For me, it is also good value. |
