Hi guys!
I'm new to the forum but not new to XP, been using it for the last 8 years with no problems whatsoever and in spite of Microsoft's scaremongering I'll continue to use it until it packs in all together.
However I am a little confused about the antivirus software. I currently use Microsoft Security Essentials but will have no choice but to change to another one come April 8th. My problem is because I've used MSE for so long, I really have no idea which av software to change to.
I've heard good things about Avast and AVG (and they're free - double bonus!) but in all honesty I have no idea which of the 2 would be the best.
Because there will be no more security updates from Microsoft after April 8th, I need to have a really good one just to ensure that my lovely XP pc remains virus free after that date.
I really would appreciate any advice, tips, comments from anyone as I want to get this new av software installed within the next few days.
Thanks in advance!
