I was informed that Computer Essentials anti-virus software is free from Microsoft.
Does anyone have a preferrence to what anti-virus package they use?
Does any of these software packages detect a virus better than others?
I was informed to download the free malwarebytes.org and perform a scan every week. It's free because you have to run the scan. You pay if if you select to automatically run for you?
Your input is greatly appreciated.

I had problems with the Microsoft Essentials. Does protect, but not good enough. T tried almost all of the anti virus scanners and for me the best is Norton 360. Find stuff others didn't. Runs and update itself and offers a great protection. It is not free, but as always you get what you pay for. I have too many good software on my computer to take any risk of losing them.
