So after reading tons of posts here at MET's and asking questions, and then trying software, as suggested. I came to a finalistic, simple conclusion for dummies, like myself (just a common man).
Here is my simplified advice, maybe you will agree?
If you are just using your PC for some gaming, news, surfing, and movie watching, and have no risky behaviors online. My advice for your PC security is to do the following:
Choose one of the brand name, recognized apps in the following list, while ignoring those that are slated as being unreliable here at MWT's.
Bitdefender
Avast
G-data
Norton
AVG
Avira
Kaspersky
Zone-alarm
K7
McAfee
F-Secure
......There are bound to be some I am missing...
Now on a clean install of Windows, make an image of this clean install...
Now test all the above mention (plus any missed) software's. Then choose the one that seems the most responsive on your PC.... End of story, just use it. If anything happens you have your image, which you can update as needed.
