[QUOTE="Petras, post: 207607, member: 216"] Not sure yet. I've been eyeing PCMatic for a while mainly because it is a 100% everything done in the U.S.A. product, but the way their system operates seems like it may be a bit of an annoyance. They have basically created a "whitelist" of safe programs that they will not block when they try to run on your computer, but everything not on that list gets blocked from running. This sounds great, and helps to greatly boost their ratings in independent testing, but can be somewhat bothersome for someone that isn't computer handy. The reason I say this is because if you try to run a program that hasn't been added to their known Whitelist, well, it looks like it can be kind of an annoyance to deal with. I have also looked into Kaspersky Labs products and while they are very well received by most folks, there has been some accusations floating around that they are directly linked to the Russian government. The conspiracy theorist in me tells me to stay away. I will most likely end up going with Mcafee. They receive pretty decent reviews in testing and I like that for $45/year I can get protection for up to 10 devices across most all operating systems, including smartphones and tablets running either android or iOS operating systems. I plan on doing some more research before I make the switch. If I come up with a better option than Mcafee I'll post it here. [/QUOTE]
