A couple of thoughts:

* I'd agree about avoiding anything from Symantec.
It's all bloated junk. Avira causes too many false
positives. I've installed Avast for friends, as the lesser
of the evils. Personally I don't use AV and would never
use Malwarebytes. It's not that I don't think people
should use them. It's just that they take a lot of
resources and don't work very well. The whole idea is
outdated. But for people who don't know how to protect
from malware, AV is better than nothing.

A great many users fall into the trap of renewing their Norton or McAfee
"protection" every year and then get very defensive when it's pointed
out that equivalent, or better, protection is easily available for lower
cost, or free. McAfee actually scores pretty well in independent tests.
The independent test labs no longer test Symantec because there is no
longer a standalone Norton Anti-Virus program.

They don't test Norton?
