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........

Why not just use Windows Defender ? that`s free from Microsoft and is all I use for Virus checking.
Iobit do a few different things, they have a free Malware Fighter, I think the free one is v3.4

Years ago I used AVG 'free/lite' running Windows XP on a PC for a number of years - it was early days with AVG but it did a great job. Then changed to an MacBook Pro running OSX and (as far as I know..!) haven't had any virus or malware issues ever since - buy Apple...
Anyone out there recommend free protection products (you never know, belt and braces) for Apple products
