Never paid for computer security.

Me neither since Norton Systemworks 2000.

What security do use use and swear by BTID?

My brain and Microsoft security essentials. Previously used AVG.

Further to my bank's decision to offer customers a free three year Malwarebytes licence for up to ten devices, I checked in with the PC security channel.
My own experiment with it almost killed my computer, and this test says a lot. Avoid.

Just put a roll of carpet against your back door and put those favourite comfy slippers on.

You'll be fine.

I can't handle rolls of carpet. Getting sacked from my warehouse stacking job left me with issues.

An old pillow will do.

I've got a couple of old bodies in the loft. They're probably mummified by now, so they might do the job.

Give Bolton Museum a call, they collect old mummies.

Probably a clue as to what's happened to Nat.

Was looking at this issue and saw this: https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwie-9Xy08HnAhULSRUIHf9RCcYQud0BKAAwAHoECAsQAg&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pcmag.com%2Fpicks%2Fthe-best-free-antivirus-protection&usg=AOvVaw3uusqHU3OrcJhy_C-W0Myk

Looks like Kaspersky Security Cloud Free is possibly the best free one.

Avast has ruled the roost for many years when it comes to free AV, and Kaspersky is now running it close. However, I take these reviews with a pinch of salt, because I know for a fact that some of the review sites take handouts.
The best reviewer is the PC Security channel. Leo will put you straight about most of the options out there.

Yes, it was his review of the Kaspersky on YouTube that made me look at other reviews!
