    I am thinking of changing my anti virus programme as on a monthly basis it comes up with some gizmo addition costing circa £30 a month to be added to my "plan"

    i need a plan that costs £x per annum and does the main things like "keep you safe"

    WHICH ONE DO YOU USE AND HOW MUCH ... mine is currently <£100 annually [ without all the add ons!]

    I use AVG - I’ve no idea if it’s good or not but I’ve not seen any viruses to-date (touch wood)!

    well auto renew over took me due to being busy but did manage to get back on basic programme .. they offer free 60 day trials with a reduction, well pro rata fee on length still on annual contract to all of these they offer would at this point in time more than double my original plan cost!
    so ... £69 would pay for the 3 "extra's " after the 60 trial for the last 5 month's if I waited till february to take them up!
