QOTD: Is Free Antivirus as Good as Paid Software.

Does free antivirus do just as good a job? This week there"s been an awful lot of talk about free antivirus. Between Microsoft officially launching its Security Essentials software and Symantec essentially saying free antivirus sucks, there"s been no shortage of differing opinions on the matter. Symantec"s view on free antivirus software Microsoft isn"t the first to offer free antivirus. MSE aside, you"ve got Avast and AVG, software that many of you say you use and much prefer over the likes of Norton or McAfee. That said, most of you know your way around the web and wouldn"t be clicking on the big, blinking signs that say you"ve just won a cruise to the Caribbean or seven billion dollars in stock options. Today"s question of the day is do you think free antivirus is enough for the average computer user?
