Aren expensive antivirus programs like Norton and McAfee better than the freebies?
ANo. Don’t believe their hype. Companies like McAfee would convince you that in order to be “safe”, you need to install their suite of ten different programs, including antivirus, antispyware, antispam, antiscam, “SiteAdvisor”, et cetera. All that junk is going to slow your computer noticeably, I can almost guarantee it. These security software companies will convince you that Internet cookies are evil incarnate and can eat your brain. Don’t let them scare you into spending your money on their bloatware. On my links page you will find free products that should, along with your good practices, keep you safe on the Web.
