    Default Virus/Malware

    Does anyone use virus/malware protection on their devices?

    If yes what?

    Avast. I use that on most of my kit but soon migrating to Sophos for no reason other than I'm now running Sophos UTM.

    Been using 360 Security on phone, works a treat. Also installed on PC, seems to be working fine. Free download. Does contain some ads but not annoying!

    Thanks to stevezx636

    I've been using Malwarebytes and Avast together and have been wondering about ditching Avast.

    Eset mobile security, not sure how the mobile version compares to the alternatives but the PC software is very good and they do multi-device licences so you can use them on PC, Mac or Android which is handy and keeps it cheap. I think there is a free version too which cuts out some features.
