[QUOTE="user 997, post: 668514, member: 997"] Really thought Windows 10 was going to be safer... If you aren't too hang up with Windows I suggest looking at Linux Mint 17.3, its a truly excellent OS and took me 10 minutes to start running everything. If you need Office, try the cloud version Office 365. Setting up Windows 10 took me much longer and then I discovered that a lot of my software weren't compatible with it, had to downgrade to Windows 7 which took more than a day to set up and 1GB of security updates. I'm not touching any of the optional updates just in case my machine automatically upgrades to Windows 10. For virusscanners I can recommend Bitdefender, ESET and Kaspersky, whichever gives you a good deal. Bitdefender looks to be really good on the malware. Avoid Norton at all costs, it messed up my wife's laptop. Most AV companies give you a 30 day trial, I suggest you make use of that offer and see whether everything runs smoothly before handing over your cash. [/QUOTE]
