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.               Daryl              ... Virus Check Complete.
