I use Malwarebytes, I have used the free version in the past but a while back I had the opportunity to purchase a lifetime subscription for several computers.
I also use an eero mesh system for WiFi and hardwired network connections. I subscribe to an additional layer of security via those devices.
Computer security is best when applied in layers, the more the better.
Free computer security is worth what you pay for it. Also, don't post your email address in plain text on a forum that is viewable by anyone. Makes you a great target for phishing emails, which is probably the biggest threat to computer security these days.
A friend and long time computer (business) wizard mentioned something today about a browser that he feels has the best internet security and he said may be the way of the internet future. Haven't looked into it yet as we had to cut the conversation short today. He said something like or about "Brave . (dot) com" Anyone know anything about this browser?

I do, it's from the former CEO of Mozilla, (firefox browser) and is chromium based. FWIW, Microsoft's new Edge browser is also chromium based as of a month or two ago.
As to desktop security, I'm trying out an old corporate favorite in their home version, Sophos home. A recent review / test:
I'm not really interested in being techie anymore, just want something automatic that works and keeps the PC's safe. I no longer have faith in Avast so need something different.
