Used one which was supplied free(cannot recall the name) until I went to Norton a few years ago. Agree on the i phone struggle!
a lot of the time its the apps. i go on instagram and i havent a clue how to navigate from one thing to another. and the same with tik tok that my son "forced" me to go on. and moving from one app to another i can never remember the one tap or two. plus my home button is broken so i have a screen hotspot and half the time its invisible. and dont get me started with paswords.....
Honestly just stick with Windows Defender - don't pay for AV. The whole internet security risk thing is often exaggerated to induce paranoia, (the cynic in me says by cyber security firms looking to raise their revenue). As long as you don't click on dodgy links and get apps from trusted sources you'll be fine. Oh and always check for the padlock/HTTPS in the top left of your browser. Keep your local firewall on and defender should stop anything that might slip through. I have worked as an IT Engineer for over 20 years btw.
i was told something like this years ago and stuck to it. and i very rarely get infected if ever. different story long ago, my trigger happy mouse finger due to the larger amounts of hormones forbidding me to avoid gentlemans material often got me in trouble. think before you click is the best antivirus
hang on ive already written something about this on notepad on my pc, if only i could remember the password...
Regular changing of passwords is recommended. Everton and Watford fans utilise it to the max by picking the current team manager. Benitez password is no longer valid so they are all using a temporary password. ShellSuitedBarryEverton0
I use a MacBook Air for the internet, and a Windows laptop offline for other things, NB Most paid antivirus progs give false positives or miss things. Avast was terrible for missing viruses. Windows Defender + Malwarebytes is the best combo for Windows.
I use a MacBook, we are an entirely Mac based company (loaded with windows). Never had a problem. Costly outlay but last longer, quicker start up, better performance & I’ve never had a new starter say I don’t a Mac i want a windows based laptop. I would if they asked, I think lol
Don’t disagree, but if you spend Mac-level money on a modern Windows laptop you get similar performance, in my experience. A £300 PC will be slow and dodgy, for one reason alone.
i still do searches with dos on windows machines. there is paid-for windows software i need to continue using windows for. i will be making older pc hardware into linux machines when i get round to it. i might even attempt to build a "hackintosh" at some point, perhaps when i find myself with a 64-bit windows pc that becomes unsuitable for a still-supported version of windows.
i once got to fix the innards of a macbook. ye gods! give me a pc any day. apple don't like people opening their boxes. for me it has to be doable.
