I've using Norton for many years and have been happy with it. I pay a

The processing power load doesn't seem excessive for what it does.

A while back, they bought the identity theft protection package
LifeLock and been pestering me to upgrade. I regular click "not
interested" in the pop-up, but in a few weeks, they start again.

What do you guys recommend for anti-virus these days? McAfee?
Kaspersky? Just use what's built into Windows 10?

I have used Malware Bytes for nearly 14 years. I pay $39.99 a year for
premium. It as never allowed any malware of any type onto my computer.

The consensus seems to be that MalwareBytes is not, and has never been,
a replacement for antivirus software. It looks for other kinds of
malware, though.

What consensus? In my experience MalwareBytes handles viruses along
with a bunch of other types of malware. Sometimes it can be a bit over
the top blocking web sites.

It has been posted numerous time what files they check .xxx. IT IS NOT
A REPLACEMENT FOR AN ANTI_VIRUS. Anyone that is a regular monitor of
their forum knows this.


Stephen Wolstenholme probably has Windows Defender running, and
doesn't realize it.

No, Defender is not installed on any of my PCs.
