i have a computer security named widows live one care and i don’t want it because i already have a security called AntiVir. (and it kind of sucks to please tell me a good free computer security if u know of any).

I’ve seen it debated that some claim freeware to be sub par from programs you buy. And some claim freeware to be adequate to normal threats of the internet.

My opinion is that freeware is generally good enough if you already practice safe internet surfing and know things about internet security.

Some of the stuff you buy may or may not be better than freeware (just depends which you buy). If you want complete insurance that your computer is safe, some people claim certain programs are a must.

what’s your opinion?
