  • Recommendations for free/cheap antivirus for a pc running Windows 7?

    Used to use AVG but Avast is on the laptop I'm using. Mainly just want something that works and doesn't interrupt everything I do.

    Also does anyone use outlook for personal use? The reason I ask is I have it, but am migrating to Android for all my mobile stuff and I'm not sure how things like the calendar and to do lists, etc. Will interact. So wondering about whether I'm better off using a different système before I spend lots of time organising things.

    Thanks.

  • I've found the least intrusive (on actually doing stuff on the PC) is ESET antivirus.

    It's about £25 per year.

    I reconfigure mine to not do the web stuff (and to avoid it complaining I actually just tell it that the web exists on port 8080).

    I also let it do a full scan, and then configure it to only scan on write, and on execute. This prevents it from scanning on every file read.

    It's very fast, it uses very little resources, it does the job.
