I think the OP's question specifically focuses on AV Software. But the overall security equation is obviously much broader, and should also include security and vulnerability updates for both OS and apps.

Ok... I'm the OP...and a she not a he. I've left the maintenance of the PC's to the Geeks. I have Kaspersky Internet Solutions 13 and it's more than just an AV.

I started using it after a major infection while using MSE. Prior to that I'd used Trend Micro... and before that I'd used the free software which worked fine...till it didn't. :E Trash one machine later and now I use paid anti everything software.

The last time I was a computer go to person was in 1986. Now... I'm like a lot of other folks out there. Clueless. I understand on a big picture level what you all are talking about... but on the details on how to do it... :?

I am thinking of just buying a K disc and hiring the local to come install one computer and teach me how to do the other. That way I won't feel like such an idiot. :h

My grand kids know more about this stuff than I do. But they're in another state. sigh....
