Those mfs have got a way to go if they're setting up free antiviruses. Free anti-virsus will hurt your system probably more on average than actual viruses
Bitdefender Free is great and doesn't nag users to upgrade.
Just use Windows defender already. It's been good enough for ages. All the others downplay this to justify their existence.
Exactly. If you run windows, the default defender anti virus is just as capable. Don't use 3rd party anti virus software or use the"free" ones.
