Re: Just checking about Anti-Virus protections

gloriajean, I'm sorry it took a while for responses to your thread, it's just that some threads get pushed down the page pretty quickly sometimes. I generally don't try to offer advice about antivirus and anti-malware since I use Macs and it's pretty easy for us (just the free ClamXav for that).

As feline groovy said, there usually are current threads on the topic in the "Electronics Talk" forum, but the posters here in Viewpoints are very helpful and knowledgeable, too.{#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}

I really didn't know there was a category for this. I should go there and look once. I never do go there - very few qvc forums, there are just too many! I know nothing about Macs, but it sounds like they are really good computers, too. Lucky you can get a free one.

Thanks!

Kaspersky is arguably the best, in my opinion, as well as the opinions of top experts in the field. I've had it for about twelve years with no problems ... none.


Thanks, I never heard of this one. Is it expensive? The Bit one is $50 a year.

Re: Just checking about Anti-Virus protections

Kaspersky is superior to Norton. With Norton we had problems but none since we made the switch.
