     I'm using the IObit Malware Fighter. You can get a yearly subscription for   
   $40, I believe, but it's valid for 3 computers. They have several other great   
   utilities for Windows systems, and at times, good deals on them. I think   
   except for IObit Uninstaller and SmartDefrag, which are for 1 computer only,   
   per license...most of the rest of the items are for 3 computers upon a yearly   
   registration. To me, it's worth it. They are at https://www.iobit.com   
      
     In the past, I've used McAfee, CA Internet Security, and F-Prot.
