Second for Sophos. I have used multiple providers over the last few years in large environments and Sophos is the only faultless one that I have no complaints about! I have no experience using it as a home user 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Thirded for both Avast free version or Sophos free version. I had Avast for about 5 or 6 years. Not one bad thing happened. I changed because I went to a Sophos event for my job last year and I was impressed, especially as I hate these sorts of seminars and I am a full blown cynic so I was determined to not be. When my free Avast renewal popped up I decided to change. No issues in the last few months. It just sits there doing it's thing. I know one person who uses Windows Defender with a similarly good experience and at work we use a paid for Symantec/Norton programme and again, no issues there either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Podmore Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Another Sophos recommendation. Free and without loads of annoying pop ups trying to sell you a 'full' version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
