I use Norton - you can get 10 device 1 year license on Amazon for £28 and it works on Android and other tablets too. Includes 25GB backup. I also have 64 bit Windows (10 in my case). It does have some annoying habits with scanning, backing up and updating which can hog resource but once stable works well.

Others will recommend other tools having had issues with another product. There are reviews and comparisons over the net showing strengths and weaknesses of products.

Thanks for that had Norton in the past didn't like it that much.

No need to pay anything for Antivirus and Firewall software these days in my opinion.

I use Avast Free and Comodo Firewall and they don't appear to slow my PCs down.

Re: Good Anti virus firewall £40 max
 

Comodo for me too.

Re: Good Anti virus firewall £40 max
 

isn't the free version just for 30 days

Re: Good Anti virus firewall £40 max
 

No they're both completely free.

Thanks for that SnoopZ ill try it now.

Comodo takes a little while to get used to but once setup correctly you won't see many popups, it is just a case of tweaking it, just make sure you only install what you want, as i think they bundle their chrome browser with it and a few other things, nothing to worry about though it isnt spyware etc.

I'd recommend BitDefender as a good free ant-virus which doesn't slow your machine down or have annoying nag screens (they put me off avira and avast free)

Ive been using Kaspersky for the past 4 years this is my 5th and im very happy.

Re: Good Anti virus firewall £40 max
 

360 Total Security Seems like a good choice, and it's free.

Re: Good Anti virus firewall £40 max
 

On Avast i just put it in gaming mode which stops all popups and keeps the same level of protection.

I seem to recall that Qihoo got in trouble with AV testers, for submitting a non-default configuration, enabling the Bitdefender engine which is normally disabled in preference for their own - if that engine is still an option, it would improve performance.

But, looking up that info, I find that they are also accused of other transgressions.

Certainly, Bitdefender free is worth a look, good engine, but very limited options.

The other one I quite like, is Sophos Home, absolutely no nags - but according to av-comparatives, not that stellar in protection.

Zonealarm offer a free (and Pro) combined AV and firewall
