Anyone have any suggestions on what would be fairly cheap yet very reliable? I have yet to buy one as I don't know what to look for. =/
HAHA bite your tongue and stop trying to jinx, lolSave your money and buy a macyou'll never have to worry about viruses
Sorry to say, no longer the case ( I have Mac's and PC's). As Mac use has increased so has the efforts to develop viruses for it. Still not nearly as bad as PC's.Save your money and buy a macyou'll never have to worry about viruses
Macs are pricey but you need to add the price of the yearly subscription of the antivirus software. Even anti-virus doesn't stop them, my father in law had it and his computer became infected and became unusable, I got him to get an IMac and he hasn't had an issue yet. also, unless you are a wiz that can do your own file backups and doing your own reimaging this will be very costly. Maybe initially the Mac will be expensive but it will pay for it self at the end, plus you get a free one year support warranty and can get it fixed anytime. With pcs you have to call a help desk in another country and it is a pain in the butt to get your computer fixed. I dealt with pcs since I was 14 and I can tell you that it feels great not running weekly spyware scans ore virus scanseset nod 32 or eset smart security
then id reccomend also getting malware bytes antimalware
and then comodo free firewall. havent had a virus issue with my computer yet since i've been using those three..
i wouldnt get a mac to expensive, i can build my own computer and know how to protect it![]()
Yeah the retail customer service is excellentDavid not to mention the buggy Microsoft OS operating systems that cost 500+ LMFAO!!! No freaking thank you speaking of OS I will be upgrading to Lion OSX for 29.00! Can't beat that.... Macs are expensive but their Customer Support/ Hardware is superior to anything else I have ever owned or had to deal with. I also have an Ipad 2 and a macbook pro. And I have always had great experiences with apple products.
I've had much better luck with Avast.. Think it's superior, the auto update is a lot more seamless and seems to do a better job notifying me of threats.haha.. riiiight.. anyways, this isnt about Mac vs PC .. its about virus programs.. as far as free programs go, you cant beat AVG
if you can find avg 9.0 online anywhere i have a key that will activate it till 2018.. lol
