HI, Can any one help, i have a newish pc and it came with one free year Norton protection and now its coming up for a new subscription. Is this worth it or can any one point me to any free like wise programmes.
I have done a search on here but had no joy.

Steve

I got advised to use ghostery, it's free and blocks all those add tracking stuff. Will try the above as well as it's been something I should have done ages ago.

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k. “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi. Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

Gotta lol at using any microsoft product for security.
for all the nits out there, if you do online banking your bank should/might provide free licenses for the big name brands, barclays certainly do.

All Norton and Mcafee manage to do is grind your system to a halt. The memory overhead is outrageous. I use free version of Avast (download from CNET) and Malwearbytes antimalware. Never have any issues.

Why? Every internet security review I've seen has put Microsoft Security Essentials right up near the top so why would you bother looking for another one? |

 Anyone who knows me knows that I certainly don't worry about coughing up for stuff. This setup works much better than Webroot, Norton and or other security software I've had from a functionality pov. |
