As technically open-minded persons I have since about 15 years a PC and work, professionally conditioned, daily many hours. At the first PC, the question of the protection and after extensive research I decided to put Norton. I've never regretted it, and use the software today. In all the years I had no viruses or other interventions on the PC. Once installed, the program works silently in the background. Thanks to the included 365 days Update Services to update the software (almost) in real time, so you are always protected against the latest threats. Freeware (ie free programs) I can personally only advise, as they provide only moderate protection. The protection of your PC you should even be worth the purchase price in the year, especially since you can buy the software pretty cheap online.
