But is it worth the money?

You can always download it from some ''other'' sites. If you really like it then you can buy it.

I never really cared about an antivirus. I have AVG just for the basic protection. I always save my important documents on my external hard disks. My internet Visa card has a 50 Euro limit and only through a phone verification with the bank I can make bigger payments, so no real risk there. Every 2-3 months, I just do a disk-wipe and then a clean install of windows. Sometimes I fuck up and I have to take it to a friend or technician. But I m getting better at it...lol

I like Kaspersky, but its a system hog. I cant see myself paying 60 a year for antivirus when the free ones work just as well. You have to check every year because the programs change, and malware /viruses change so its tough picking a antivirus company. I've been using avg free for about a year now.

I bought Kaspersky again this year. I've been using it for 2 years now.

Bit Defender has a free version of antivirus that works quite well. You only need to provide your email address and they let you use it for free, with no time limits.

Vipre Antivirus is what I personally use. It's not free but it's a very good product. Can't tell you how many times it's saved my bootie. They have a deal going right now where you can use it on up to 10 machines for $49.99. Here's the link in case you're interested.
