Boo,
By coincidence, Consumer Reports did a review of the “free” anti-virus packages in the July 2015 issue.
Ratings as follows:
Top of the list went to: Avira (Free Antivirus 2015)
Next was AVD (AntiVirus Free 2015)
And then…..Avast (Free Antivirus 2015)
Last on the list was Microsoft Windows 8.1 with Defender
MARK
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the second place anti-virus was supposed to read "AVG" instead of "AVD".
I've been using AVG for quite some time and it's very good indeed.
Mark, I have sent you a Private Message...please check.
