      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.

          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. 🙂

          A few of my clients will go on and buy whatever I tell them if they can afford it... but, by and large, you are right, ha ha ha.

            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.

                    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.

                                            ^ 😛 sorry, couldn't resist.
                                            I like Avast but I haven't used anything else in a few years.
                                            When I had Bit Defender back in.... hmmm... 2009/2010(?) it was good and fast but it crashed a lot (Reboot to fix).
                                            Hopefully, they have improved since then.
