| Multi-device security/virus products? Are there any single company product subscriptions out there that you recommend to cover security/virus/etc protection for all personal internet-enabled devices? Right now I have McAfee that covers my PC and laptop, and I just have free products for the two android cell phones (both Samsung Galaxy S2) my wife and I have. We now have a Kindle Fire HD, so I'm thinking it would be nice to get a more comprehensive suite (and our phones don't yet have an app that can track/alert/scream). I'm already paying McAfee, and I'm not looking forward to possibly paying another $30 each for my mobile devices (to add the feature to track, lock, and wipe) if there is a suite that covers everything that also does it well. Are the big names like Norton and McAfee a good choice, or are there better avenues? Thanks!

| AVG is an excellent choice, and FREE. There are many free antivirus programs better that Norton/Macafee. |

| Webroot Secure Anywhere, pc and droid versions for sure, I think ipad as well. Its the best antivirus/malware/spyware program I've ever used, and I've used a lot since 1992. Its not a memory hog, nor will it slow down your computer what so ever like most of the others out there. edit: pcmag named webroot best antivirus for 2013 Quote:

| I use Avast! (free) on my computer and nothing on my phone/tablet. Security on Android is really easy...don't download crap. blazinlow89 likes this.
