    I believe this thread was started before and someone recommended COMODO as being one of the better ones out there.

    I downloaded the free version of COMODO last week and since then my laptop keeps turning off by itself and takes about 20 times of turning it back on before the start up repair will stay on long enough to actually do it's job.

    It just happened again and now the COMODO I downloaded is completely gone from my computer!

    Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks

    AVG is good but is getting bloated. I can't believe I'm saying this, but Microsoft has a decent product with their free Essentials Package. You may want to check them out.

    As usual everyone's been a great help! I have window's defender so I'll try the other one and hopefully that aleviates my issues.

    Thanks!!

    I didn't think M$ still supported Windows Defender.

    The microsoft one found 4 dangerous viruses the COMODO one did not! All is good so far and the computer hasn't turned off yet, although it happened when I had 5-6 different things going on at once. Might do a test tonight and see what happens.

    Thanks again everyone!
