Hi guys
As most will know from previous threads/posts my computer skill is lacking....so I'm begging for advice.
I have this newish all-in-one Acer...it has Windows 8.1 and I still use AOL as my email and browser. I had Avast security on a previous laptop and added this Acer to that service.
They advise I need to renew my subscription (about US$60?) and I'm not sure if this is scam or not. Last Dec my C/C was deducted US$39.99 by Avast in Luxembourg.
I find that Avast is very active, scans the computer often and pops-up when it rejects some browsing as malwear etc.
My question is...is Avast good security, and worth it, or is there something better and/or free?
Thanks for any advice on this topic.
edit. recently someone advised how to get around 'internet positif' (johnny cool or RonB) I downloaded and it worked but somehow Avast told me that it was a problem and I quickly clicked to have it deleted and I've lost it. I'd like it back but cannot find the post for the download link...anyone remember?
