Hi everyone,
So I had been using ESET for at least 5 years, & I was upset that they told me I had to switch to Win 10 from Win 7 otherwise they wouldn't support me (What???), plus getting support from them was always a pain.
So I decided not to renew & trust me, they didn't care.
I tried Avast & had issues with them and my old ergonomic mouse that they literally STOPPED me from using on my computer LOL
After wasting 2-3 hours with my website coder trying to figure out why my mouse wasn't working, I figured out it was Avast. Also, changing my e-mail address on their forum didn't work, so they are clearly no good.
Bit Defender I thought was great until I started to notice CPU or memory issues. I went to their forum & realized I'm not the only one having this issue.
So, looking online is pointless, as all I get are sites listing the top 10 software & they are all paid sites by the anti-virus companies.
Any suggestions? And please explain why you recommend said software. I can just go back to Malwarebytes, but I'm still not sure if that's a good replacement for anti virus.
I prefer free, at least to start, so I can make sure I like it.
Thanks a ton
