I've been happy with Webroot. A relative who works in IT recommended it.

Is this a lot better these days?
MS itself (windows) used to have all the vulnerabilities and all the attacks targeted at it. Seems difficult to believe they have made it safer on their own.

Not paying Apple prices for something only used occasionally. Never actually had a virus just wanted to know what people are using currently.

Get a Mac. Don’t download or click on anything. Routinely check recently added apps and downloads. No need for virus software.
