Default Antivirus and Malware Prog

I'm after a Antivirus and Malware prog that will cover 3 computers. Atm I get £14.99 cover for 1 computer. I'm not paying that for 1.

Any suggestions?

Why pay when there are many free ones out there that work fine.
I use Avast https://www.avast.com//en-gb/index
It's not let me down yet........

Good free programs are AVG Anti Virus and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

I use Avast & Malwarebytes on my computers. Free is a limited option, but seems to be working well

I did use AVG but they wanted payment after a period of time.......

You must have downloaded a trial version as I have been using this free for a number of years. http://www.avg.com/ww-en/free-antivirus-download

I can recommend Avast - i use it on all my computers. I use the free version which does pretty much everything you'd need it to. It should be mentioned though that the current free version is loaded with pop-ups and advertising for their full paid-for version, which i find very annoying.
I use a 3 year old version, which doesn't have all that rubbish but still allows you to have the latest virus definition updates........

Windows Defender and Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit. I ditched Kapersky when I upgraded to W10 and Kapersky stopped working because they didn't have a version that supported W10.

Don't visit pron or torrent sites and you should be fine...

Avira free has topped the list for best detection without hogging the processor.
Avast free has a decent few things extra.
AVG free is ok for detection
Malwarebytes is the best for scanning infected systems
All free
Goto Techsupportalert (all 1 word) for free info and programs
