Free AVG
Apologies if this has been asked before but have checked through and can't find anything.
I have free AVG plus malwarebytes, each regularly updated and used to scan.
Haven't had a problem and feel 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'.
Have got a advert through from AVG urging me to buy the new improved version etc etc to ensure the 'complete protection for my computer' - realise this is a marketing effort from AVG.
Question is.....exactly what extra do I get, do I need it or should I trust my insticts and stay as I am? Many thanks

Their paid for products are usually "full internet security suites" that look at much more than just viruses.
Only you can decide if the cost is worth it.
Their web page gives an idea of what extra you get.

Don't pay anything when you can get Microsoft Security Essentials for nothing and is highly recommended by a lot of the top Techies on this site.
