I feel like my buddy skeets - he and I are of similar Tech savvy.

What do you guys use for AV, etc.? How much does it cost?

Been using paid AVG subscription for a while. Seems to work well but has some aspects I'm getting tired of.

For example, won't allow access to computer unless you up-sell to VPN, etc., which my "young people" say I don't need.

I have to use Task Manager to "End Task" to shut it off.

I think it costs me ~$40/year without VPN.

Used Norton for several years, but was pricey and really slowed computer down.

For a while also used the protections supplied by the ISP, at the recommendation of our IT guy at work. Was free through the ISP, but for some reason migrated to the AVG.
