Sophos now offer a FREE AV solution for home users - I think it covers up to 10 devices!!

Basically the same offering as their business system in terms of detection, and gives you a nice web front end to manage it from etc.

Thanks for all of the suggestions chaps, I'm still not sure what I'm going for to replace Norton - maybe the £19.99 Norton that John Lewis still have on offer, or just use Malwarebytes on it's own !

I've uninstalled Norton as the subscription has ran out, now using Windows Defender and Malwarebytes.
Fingers crossed that they do the job that they're supposed to do !

Once again, thanks a lot for all of the suggestions. :) :thumb:

Although Windies Defender is OK, I have been using Comodo Internet Secuity for years now without any issues...combined anti virus and firewall

Very easy to use, extremely efficient in that it picks up issues that other anti virus missed

Cost is reasonable too...£40 per year and that covers 3 devices
