I have tried many different antivirus programmes over the years and at the moment I am using Windows Defender. It's not the most popular programme but I have never had a problem with it. I also run Malwarebytes free once a week and I was advised to use a great little system maintenance tool called Glary Utilities. These three programmes seem to keep my computer in tip top condition. What do you use?

There are different anti virus you can use to protect your desktop or laptop but as for me I'm currently using Avast anti virus and to some extent it's very good to use and it has been helping my system often and often from cyber attack
 
I used to love using Avast but Windows updates kept overriding it! When that happened it meant that my computer would slow to a crawl as Windows Defender and Avast battled it out to try to be alpha on my system. I eventually gave up trying to deal with it and learned to just go with Windows Defender.
 
Concerning what antivirus I use for my my personal computer or laptop. Well, I use the Norton antivirus which is a very good antivirus that detect and remove any form of virus on the computer system, the recent operating system windowns 10 now have a windows defender which serves as a default antivirus for the system
 
I have used Avast free antivirus in the past but I have a potato PC and it slows down my PC whenever I run a scan. Windows comes with a built-in antivirus known as Windows Defender so I uninstalled Avast. If you have a Mac you don't need any antivirus.
 
Currently, I use 360 Total securitry for my computer and 360 Internet security for my browsers. I use free versions and have been using these software for 3 years. Before 360, I was using Cloud Panda. I have also used paid anti virus in the past and when I found free programs are as good as paid ones, I stopped using the paid antivirus.
 
I used AVG and Avast for a while before switching to Norton. However, I've not used an antivirus for a while now. Most of my work is done on my mobile phone and regular updates on it is enough to protect against virus.
