[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 1120124, member: 78686"] Based on my experience of putting it into my relative's PC, who has zero idea about security and just barely can browse the web, Avast might be your best choice. Protection-wise, Avast is very good and ads can be disabled even in the free version, can be set in a way so to take every decision automatically in the background and disable every single notification. I used to put Bitdefender Free on their PC, but BD Free had an issue when it stopped them from logging into a work-related unencrypted HTTP website. BD stopped from putting password in the http site which confused them and even after I allowed it in the BD UI it still won't login in Chrome. I got so mad at this unwanted buggy security feature that I immediately uninstalled BD and installed Avast Free. It's been almost 2 years, I think, and they told me that Avast never notified them once. It blocked malicious connections, adware on the PC and adware scripts on the browser in that time and all was done in the background automatically. I check them by opening the Avast GUI when I go to their place. So it seems this is what you need. I'm not using Avast on my own PC at the moment, but it made my job of managing non-tech-savvy users PC very easy. [/QUOTE]
