Virus Program advice

[RStar]

Hello. I know this was brought up in another thread, but I can't find it because the keywords are the products names, which I don't recall.

It's time for my annual renewal of McAfee program, and they want $39.99 for it, if you can find where to renew with out upgrading to the 8 program package they want you to buy for $50.

I recall some mention of free virus software, but I wonder how well they update if the user doesn't pay.

And, is there good low cost virus programs out there that don't charge $40-50?

Thank you, and now we will at least have a thread with the words Virus Program for future searches .
