Hello,
I just recently returned to using Windows after awhile of using Linux and have been surprised at the changes that's happened to my standard toolchest since I last looked at these software companies. I found out that Spybot Search and Destroy now charges an annual fee for their product and that Malwarebytes Pro was replaced with a Malwarebytes Premium, which is now also an annual fee.
Are there any products that do not charge annual fees for use, like Malwarebytes Pro used to do (I had a copy but lost the original CD and no longer have the email address)? I am disabled and am on a limited budget and cannot afford the mounting annual fees that everybody seems to want to charge and I loved the functionality of the Malwarebytes Pro with real-time protection. I recently tried the Malwarebytes free version and could not delete anything it found, only quarantine. That is definitely not what I need...
I use Bitdefender Antivirus Plus as my main A/V; however, I know that no single piece of software will 100% protect against all malware/viruses.
If anybody has any suggestions for a good anti-malware program, I'd sure appreciate the heads up!
Thank you in advance.
