Me but it doesn't stop a rootkit I have so I'll try this. BTW: Avast is on all my computers. Just try this on 1.

Great, Thanks

The $3.99 price is only for Geek Squad serviced customers, but if you catch the store at a busy time, go to customer service that has a register open (and close to the Geek Squad tech bench). Tell them you want a copy of Trend and point at the rack with a bunch of software in sleeves (not boxes) and start pulling cash or credit cards out so they dont question anything. It'll ring up for $3.99 without needing a Geek Squad service also purchased, unlike the Norton 360 and McAfee software also available on the same rack.

isn't free better than $3.99?

Yeah, I guess if you want an older version of software. I guess I should of stated that the one at Best Buy is the 2009 version.

Yes I use Avast does everything I need. Of course everyone should have malwarebytes to remove the latest nastiness out there. Thanks to the poster though. I downloaded both the 32 and 64 bit may stick on a computer that needs something for free.

im using avg, is it worth it to switch to either Trend Micro or avast?

Wrong, I work for Geek Squad and the "Tech Bench" copy rings up for 39.99.

FYI, 2008 serials also work for the 2009 software, so if you download the 2009 "trial" from TrendMicro's web site, you can use your free serial number on it.

I have been using (free) Avast for several years now. Works GREAT on XP and Vista.
