Yea true boner! sometimes free things arnt what there cracked up to be,But on the other hand "legit" copies are like 40/50 notes each & the updates will only last for 1 year :cry:,The old norton i had was like the 2003 edition but i just kept updating it untill only a couple of years ago! ok it took an odd restart here & there to get all of your updates but it was free at the end of the day! now they want you to pay each & every year :?,I know you get what you pay for in life but the odd cracked/free copy is good like! as long as your running other spyware/malware programs at the same time you should & will get away with it 8),Ps rufus this hard drive may be good for you! its not to big & the price is ok

I've used free ones, I had Mcafee with my last pc and all have been totally rubbish compared to Kaspersky, I download probably close to 50 gigs worth of stuff a week and since using Kaspersky I haven't had a single problem, I honestly cant say the same about the free ones or Mcafee, I did find http://www.cloudantivirus.com/en/ about the best of all the free ones I've used but I honestly dont believe any of the free ones can touch a paid for one, just my humble opinion.
