I recently got a virus on my computer and was able to clean it up no problem with Avast. But I got to thinking about proper security and my computer. I talked to some people I know in IT and one guy insisted that a free antivirus program from a reputable company is all I need for home use. Another guy told me that anymore you really pay for a program and the you need the extra protection that comes with subscription antivirus programs because malware is getting more prevalent and sophisticated all the time and the annual subscription is a small price to pay for the added security.
Any thoughts on the matter? Is a paid Anti-Virus program like fire insurance, something I will most likely not need but, on the off chance I do it is worth the cost? Or is it an unnecessary expense for a single home computer.
