A friend told me that her friend (always a good start to a story right?) told her that she had gotten anti-virus online somewhere that was shareware/freeware, but she couldn't remember where she got it or the name. Do you know of anything like this?
Assuming that it's an urban legend, what level of protection do you really need if you mostly use your laptop to post on here, FB, pay a few bills with sites that have their own protection (ex. Dish Network), a little shopping once in awhile, do a few google searches, etc? It seems like all the major computer security programs (Norton, McAfee, etc.) come in different levels. As the level of protection increases, so does the cost. I don't want to be vulnerable, but I also don't want to spend $100/yr on computer security when I don't really do that much.
TIA!
