Hi Experts !<br />
<br />
Would having the AVG Anti-Virus and ewido Anti-Spyware comparable to &nbsp;<br />
having McAfee or Norton Security Suite? Also, I'll be using Windows <br />
Firewall only with my router's firewall. I'm only interested in protecting<br />
my home PC from viruses, adware, spyware, etc. <br />
<br />
I thought this would save some $$, but sometimes you just can't be cheap.<br />
Is it safe to just go with the free AVG products instead?<br />
<br />
TIA!

Free AVG v.s. Paid Suite

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.
