Computer Security

I need techy advice! DH and I are not very well educated when it comes to computer security. We need to update our computer security, we had Kasperisky 09. I want to find something cheap that does what we need it to do (which I am NOT sure what we need it to do).  I'd like something that I don't have to buy ever year, downloading free updates is good I get tired of paying out money for new editions. Any infromation as what to look for or recommendations are welcomed!!

TIA!

Do you by any chance have Comcast as your internet provider?  If you do, they offer Norton Security Suite for free.  I forget exactly where to get to it, but somewhere on their site they have a link to download it and you get free updates and renewal each year.

Avast or AVG are both free and work great.

I have been using Avira's free product for a while now and have been very happy with it.

AVG it's free and easy to download.

We have it on our desk top, each of our laptops and we even put it on my moms computer and my Aunts (after both had issues with Norton). We won't use anything but AVG.

Roadrunner (I think they were CA Ez armor) - and the local DSL company have similar options too. 

Microsoft (if you trust them) also has a free one you can download  Microsoft Security Essentials
