Trend micro anti-virus. First yr. subscription free..now close to renewal on both, but wondering if worth paying for?
Never had on old pc. So..
How important to keep? Only know..regular scans for past year have never detected a problem..virus..worms..etc. Some cookies did show. Currently using..Wid.Vista HP. firewall & wid. defender running. Any thoughts appreciated. TIA
I've tried so many virus programs. I went without for a while, and got infected, and lost all my data on that unit. Fortunately, I had backed up using MozyHome Remote Backup, an online backup that is very reliable. Before restoring (in case my backup was somehow infected), I loaded the free 90-day trial of Microsoft's Live OneCare Windows Live OneCare safety scanner: Free online tool for PC health and safety. It found the infection, and has worked seamlessly ever since, and caught many trojan horses along the way. I ended up subscribing to it for all my computers
I have used SYSTEM SUITE Professional for the last 9 yrs. and wouldn't think of using any other program. It has an A/V-A/S and firewall, and other utilities.
I second what Bundo said. One subscription can be used on three computers.
