Hello all! For now, both my wife and I are using Avast and one can use it for free! We're quite happy with it for the most part! Now that Nod32 has upgraded and has some nice screen reader features, may try that again later on but for now, I use Avast! One doesn't have to do much with it! That program works in the background and one can hear audible updates when the program updates its virus protection. It is all in what you think you want and need!

They help prevent other computers from controlling yours, but they do nothing to protect against viruses. There are suites like norton Internet security, that provide a firewall, antivirus program, antispam program, and spyware program.
