Virus protection?

[Laura's Babies]

I use Avast and have used it for years. Have not have a virus since.. I use the free one and there are plenty of other free ones equally as good as Avast, Malwarebytes and spybot are all I use... all of them are free ..Important fact... Keeping them updated is your best protection!

Reminders to update to the newest version. They get annoying.

If your Virus Definition files aren't up to date, it doesn't matter whose antivirus s/w you're using, it's going to be ineffective. The program should be set to auto update itself. (different from updating the actual program)
