<font size="-1"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I usually
recommend using Avast, AVG, or Security Essentials (Defender in
Win 8,10). If the person bought a new computer then I tell them
to use the free trial of the anitvirus that came pre-installed.
At the end of the trial they can uninstall it and install a free
one. I also let them know that the free antivirus won't provide
support and they will have to find help from a 3rd party.<br>
<br>
A browser plugin like WOT or SiteAdvisor also helps. And setting
up an OpenDNS account and enabling it on their router/computer.<br>
<br>
Then tell them about proactive steps they can take to avoid
getting infected: don't open attachments/click links in emails
in suspicious emails even if it is from someone they know, use a
standard (non-admin) account, make sure browsers are updated, OS
is updated, when installing software read the screen to avoid
3rd part software. Not a complete list.<br>

<div>I get ask from time to time by patrons what antivirus would
I recommend. We use Symantec Endpoint Protection here at
Coshocton because it is pretty cheap at TechSoup. I have used
Micorsoft Security Essentials and AVG Free some too, but not
familiar with others enough to recommend anything to patrons.</div>

<div>What would you guys recommend to patrons?</div>
