Although a lot of people use commercial antivirus software such as Norton Antivirus, McAfee, and Trend Micro there are quite a few free programs that perform remarkably well if you were to avoid the terrible areas of the Internet for the casual surfer these free programs can do a great job of protecting a computer from the threat of infection.

But if you do visit sites that aren’t unsecure anti-social sites such as eg gambling sites porn sites some gaming sites we recommend the use of ESET virus software we’ve been using this for quite a number of years and we’ve found it really good to use, easy to use and it does perform the service of protecting you against the Internet nasties

One of the favorite free antivirus programs is Microsoft Security Essentials this comes standard with any Microsoft Windows operating system and it is part of Windows 10 and Windows 11.

So these are some of the best free programs you can also use Avast or AVG of Avira but we don’t recommend them, don’t support them and again we suggest strongly suggest the use of Eset

One of the benefits of ESET antivirus software is the renewal process is pretty much automated, you get a reminder to say that your virus protection is coming out of date. It is not an intrusive program, it does run in the background quite well and  it doesn’t slow your computer down but you are rest assured that you do have protection against all sorts of spyware, malware, and viruses
