I use MS Anti Virus for daily protection; but I run both Spybot and Malwarebytes monthly....

AVG missed a lot of stuff on my computer.

Please excuse my ignorance, but how is a free anti-virus company earning any money and staying in business?  Are they doing something behind the scenes to its users to make a profit.  Just curious.

 

+3 with Microsoft security essentials on home laptop.  No nasty things yet on laptop.  This here work laptop they use McAfee. No control over that.  Paid for and used AVG for 2 years, (Back in 08-09')
  Have the Malwarebyes also, (At home)

Easier to just stop visiting those p0rn sites... lol

For those still looking for the full fledged versions, the Frys Electronics ad today has Kaspersky, McAfee, Panda, and AVG paid versions of Antivirus for free after rebate.

But you have to pay for virus definition updates every year.

I always seem to be able to get the program in December for a full rebate.  There are no other costs.  The virus definitions are continually updated throughout the year as long as the software license is current.
