PC Security

[Katsumoto]

Soon i'll have a windows pc again after getting rid of this mac I have.

Anyway, as i've not used one for ages what software (preferably free) do I need these days for all my security needs?

Is avast still fine for anti-virus? And what else do you recommend.

Thanks in advance

I use MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) brilliant programme. I used AVG for ages but prefer the MS option.

Is it free, and is it good enough by itself or would I need other security software as well as it?

If I was willing to pay would this be the best option?

Seems to get nice reviews and on the site looks to be £50 a year. Not too bad really I suppose. Thinking about it I may as well pay for one, might prove worth it in the long run.
