Start with the free stuff for home use.

Dump Windows, move to Apple, and you won't need it.
But as long as you run Windows, you MUST have malware protection.

I have it, I like it, I have not tried at 35 different antivirus products so I cannot compare them. It appears to function. I think that a person must do something or other in the current environment to protect themselves against various viruses and malware. There is no defense that is going to catch every single everything, but I believe it is incumbent upon someone who relies upon their computer to do something. To clarify, I bought the $30 version I think. Get updates fairly frequently it has prevented me from going to a couple of sites that I wanted to go to that I know are not dangerous, but overall I think it is a valid piece of insurance.

My biggest problem with it was that it kept blocking web sites that I’d never had problems with and, as far as I knew, were safe. That said, it’s a good tool and I have it on my computer but disabled until I want to run it.

I’ve had the free version for years. Seems to work or I’m just lucky.

I downloaded the free version about 5 months ago, and it works fine for me.

Go with the free version. It should be just about the only thing you need. You can complement it with others like SuperAntiSpyware, but MWB anti-malware is top of the line. I’ve used it for years...

Took my wife’s PC in for service as it was locked up. The tech found multiple viruses, trojan horses, etc., even though she was running the free version. He said to get the paid version to provide better protection. Just our experience, YMMV.

First rate product.

ts chat skiing, I use the free version as well as Spybot - Search & Destroy 2.

Think you should be good and safe with both and whatever you like for an antivirus.

Free version is fine. Just re-install every 30 days.

We’ve had it on our two major PCs for 18 months, and it’s been wonderful. The pay version.

Free version for home use. If you like it, they’ll give you opportunities to upgrade later.

The free version is a scanner only, and will not stop anything from getting downloaded. The paid version is a true antivirus proprogram and works well. I personally use and sell Emsisoft. It is very light and not bothersome
