What Is Your Consumer AV Recommendation?
-
Webroot all the way. It's cheap to buy a single license and it works.

WHEN they absolutely refuse to pay for anything, then I'll recommend AVG if they have a beefy computer, or Avast if they do not.
FTFY.

If they are really that.. frugal... just tell them to use windows defender.
-
I typically would recommend the free ones, because I was never a fan of the "big" paid ones, Norton and McAfee. (Can't tell you how many times uninstalling McAfee has fixed odd computer issues.)
But if Webroot is so beloved by ML (which means a lot) and is that much better than the free versions, that will be my recommendation.

If they're averse to paying, there's often good deals on our Webroot stuff on Newegg and Amazon. You can buy keycodes and stockpile them - they don't start using up their time until you install using them for the first time.

Thanks!
I'll have to download myself and give it a try.

Also we've got a promotion going right now on SW - if you trial the business version we'll give you a free home keycode for a year:

I setup Avast for Business (free) and install that on all the family machines.

Not in the UK market
I would not mind buying a stash of home licenses though. -
