What do you think about my idea to get three months of free anti-virus?
My current store-purchased anti-virus program has just been expired. I don't have money to buy (or renew) any anti-virus program until three months later. But I'm so worried about getting virus if I don't install any anti-virus program on my computer. I don't like to use those free anti-virus program like AVG (so please no need to suggest). So I came up with an idea of getting free anti-virus for just the three months until I have the money. I figured most anti-virus companies offer 30-day trial period for their full-featured program. I think that I could pick three of them (Norton, McAfee, and Kaspersky, etc) and use them for 30 days each. I don't know if any of you have tried this before. Do you think it's a workable plan? Anything comes to your mind about my idea? I just want to know what you think before I carry out my idea. Any comment is welcome. Thanks :D
PS. I'm not trying to steal software. In fact, I have already decided to buy Kaspersky in three months when I have my money.,

That's really doing it the hard way. I've been using free anti virus and anti malware software for years and have never had any problems with it. I use Windows Security Essentials for virus protection and Malwarebytes for all the rest. I figure it's saved me about $1000 over the past 8 or so years. It was enough to build my computer.
Yes, it is a workable plan. Just make sure they have real time protection with the free versions or else it provides absolutely NO protection from incoming threats. Microsoft Security Essentials plus the use of Windows firewall is a better and easier solution for security for your computer.
Put Microsoft Security Essentials on the computer only from the Microsoft web site and remove all the other programs. It is their newest program that is a combination of anti virus and malware scanning software. Who would know Windows better than Microsoft and third party software can only protect your computer at least 90% of the time because they do not have access to Windows programming codes. Microsoft does not release their programming codes.
You can’t put a price on protection.
So we didn’t.
said: MS security essentials.
Really, it's a great free anti-virus/malware protection.
If you're a Windows user(hope so)
Antivirus trials,
don't give full function unlike the full version..
and, it's not a good idea to frequently change
antivirus everytime it'll expires or something..
it can affect your registry performance, create complitcations someting like that..
i once install an antivirus trials, and i didn't know i'm infected, and my previous
antivirus didn't detect that virus, u know what happen, everytime i open any files,
the AV that i recently installed keeps on quarantine over n over..
then, crash my system..dang!
deploy: Ccleaner... and run it. on your commence menu, pass to run style in "msconfig" with out rates, and there could be a tab pointed out as commence-up (or something like that) and get rid of something which you do no longer prefer to commence.... yet be particularly careful nonetheless, do no longer get rid of any microsoft stuff, in simple terms courses which you comprehend what they are (assuming you do no longer prefer them to load at commence-up)
A free trial will give you the basics like the free anti viruses. And does a firewall come with it?
basically youre just using the trial featurse of the antivirus software to cover you for 3 months (1 month each).
if you dont like constantly paying for internet security programs then you could consider purchasing an antispyware program like malwarebytes or superantispyware.. they're both lifetime licenses meaning you dont have to pay renewing fees and can work with your current antivirus software.
free avast
paid malwarebytes
sandboxie or returnil as a virtual box
