Everytime i get or download a free security software i get this notice after 30 or 60 days that my computing world is going to come to an end if i don't upgrade. Of course after about three of those, i realized i just needed to get rid of them by uninstalling that software and go find another free one. But that get's tiring after
a while too, got any tips of best fee antivirus...and internet security software...since there also seems to be difference there too. How do you cope with security software that keeps to tided to them by threating that youre vunerlable if you don't upgrade? do you like that they can do that?

Hi cbiznetz! Why don't you consider buying a security software, it really isn't expensive these days. My opinion is that investing in security software is similar to investing in your health; as much as you pay for your health as much healthy you will be. The same thing is for computers. Of course, there ale free alternatives (try AVG, free antivirus, it is really good). I hope my answer was helpful. Happy mylotting and take care!

I am not sure i agree with that. I purchased a perfectly nice keyboard for my computer for 4 dollars at GoodWill and WalMart had the same one for 13.00 I think it is a matter of shoping around for the best price on the best product. The trick is that I don't want some complexe anti virus software deciding for me what will be viewed and not. And when i set it to ask, well it asks on every little thing and not just the big thing like a HIGH RISK site that may be wanting to download something. so it's a pain. AVG used to have just a simple no frills feel save without any trouble then they decided to make it 'better' and it just is too much. I have a basic essential protection from microsoft which is was workin fine of course now it has been about month so it sending these concerns that i need to upgrade so it will be off loaded too. Thanks for all the great tips its been really great getting the feedback...i will be checkin out many of those sugggestions

If you really hate viruses, then I suggest that you get yourself a Mac. It's basically virus-free. And aside from that, if you have been a windows user (like me before i met MAC), you can actually install windows in a Mac while you are still familiarizing it. Good riddance.

The simpleiest thing is there is no such thing as free. By some software cheeply enough. Or join a bank that will offer free security settings themselves such as hsbc. Its simple just sign up for a green account online drop a few bits of money in what ever your currency. and sign up its total free or your internet provider should offer it for free to.


cbiznetz (48)   ranked 10,457 out of 10,787 in computers  1 month ago

if there's no such thing as free...as you say, why say 'it's totally free' from your bank.


atlantis25 (11)  1 month ago

The diffence is when you put savings in your bank the bank offer certaiun suff as part of your package wirth them effectily you pay for them indiectly through interest amountas so effectivily they are total free and they are not a con. For example Say you put £10000.00 or the same in dollars into an account and the bank rate the interest 10% and they provide you with an account for say 6% interest each year effectivelly they gain 4% for every 6% that you get so in some ways your bank are effectively charging you for these editional services, however they are not when i say totally free i mean that they provide this service to you as long as you hold an account with the, however this does not mean that you have to have money in your account as you dont just have to have an opening balance.

My internet provder provides mcaffe internet security for free as have the internet with them there is no catch there is no trial its just free. The word free means exactly what it is when someone says to you i will provide you with a free trial, that is not free

I don't know anything about banking and finance, but for free, these days, whenever you hear anything that mentions free, be warned though cause there will always be something behind it, that isn't disclosed to you, which will make you pay more. So just be careful and try to study first something before you think of investing not just your money but also your time.

Well you can go for free antivirus solutions then. Try AVG or Avast which offers antivirus solutions for free. Hop that solves your problem.

I dont use Antivirus, I discovered Faronics Deep Freeze, Totally Impenetrable to attacks. Hacker proof, virus proof. I dont use Firewall at all and it gets me behind the scenes of numerous internet DEAD END sites. But before you actually istall the program, please get in touch coz it is very tricky.


cbiznetz (48)   ranked 10,457 out of 10,787 in computers  1 month ago

Sounds scary...better the devil i know, than to load something that will completely expose me to potential danger since i have little understanding of how to manually manage my firewalls etc. But it gets bad and have an old computer i dont care about i may just try this, and if it works and i feel confident about managing it, well it will be on top of the world knowing i am finally free of the hyped antivirus guru who claim freedom but forget to say 30days of freedom. So thanks for the tip.


myLot reputation of 72/100. mrfdg1972 (515)   ranked 6,759 out of 10,787 in computers  1 month ago

you can research more for DEEP FREEZE in the internet. Its nothing scary, you just need to clear out your cache and temporary internet files, fix issues and optimized start ups before you install the program itself. Your computer is guaranteed to run ALWAYS as good as new. Well if you use FIREFOX, you can install WOT from the add ons. what this actually do is Firefox scans the websites first before you open it, so if firefox send a green circle it means good site, a red means a bad site. Free online Anti virus is not safe, these free programs are the ones being hacked by other providers so that you wont purchase the actual product turning your heads to the actual virus hacker. That is the competition on free anti virus. hope i have enlighten you.


myLot reputation of 38/100. lodyllesovo (227)  4 weeks ago

I already heard a lot about this Deep Freeze. But then again, it was 4 to 5 years ago. But when I was introduced to MAC, my world turned upside down. I said to myself that I will never find another computer without a MAC OS X inside its system.

so have you tried the Deep freeze

In regards with your problem, there are actually a lot of free anti virus scanners that you can just download. And, you don't even have to upgrade. All that you need to do us check the auto update (which will update the virus database) and you will be protected. Example of this free antivirus softwares are Avira Antivir Personal and avast!; these are the two top rating free antivirus softwares as of now. There is also AVG and Nod32.
