How about some free stuff like AVG?
I have a reason for asking:
My husband's machine is a real piece of crap, and is slower than mollasses in January. The last thing he needs is another performance hit. Then I find out last week that he hasn't used security software in YEARS (on Windows, mind you). I nearly sh*t and fell over. Sure enough, I get on his machine, and it's like the machine has morphed into one big virus.
So, I'm going to work on it this weekend, but the reason that he hasn't used any AV software is precisely because it slows him down (I suppose it never dawned on him that all that malware and spyware he's allowing on his machine is doing that and worse...). I'd much rather get something free if possible, but if it's the same, worse, or only marginally better than Norton, I'd rather spend the $30 to keep him using it.
