It says my subscription expired and I'm not protected... but it also says all my shields are on and can do scans and stuff. It won't let me reactivate a subscription, just wants money. Anyone know what's up?

I use AVG and don't have any sort of annoying issues. So you could just switch, unless you have some connection to Avast.

Which free antivirus programs are generally considered good? This computer's new, and I'm afraid it'll catch something. After all, antivirus programs are often suspicious downloads themselves.

Avast was great until it... decided to be dumb. I'm seriously not sure if I've got protection or not :o

AVG has a free version, with an optional paid premium version with more features. For standard malware protection the free version does everything you need.

I can't recommend it over other malware defense programs though; it's basically the only one I've been using for years, I don't have anything to compare it to.

I thought I remembered something about avg didn't have free anymore. I used to have it on an old desktop that I didn't even have admin rights to. Maybe if I can't figure this out I'll look into it.

I use to use Avast and it worked pretty well until the same thing happened to me. It expired and I wasn't sure if it was still working or not. I just ended up getting McAfee almost free with rebate at Fry's.

When anti-virus programs expire, don't they still work? I was under the impression that it just doesn't update anymore and you're susceptible to anything new.
