Multi-device security/virus products?

if you will
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! :smile:

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

I was also planning to get a more full-featured product for the mobile devices, so they can be tracked or wiped if I lose them. I know this costs about $30/year. Do many people not buy this type of app for their smartphones?

Avast is pretty good and its free.

I currently have a subscription with Zone Alarm but as soon as my time is up Im not paying any more and am going to Avast.

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

Three products share the Editor's Choice honor for best overall antivirus: Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2013, Norton AntiVirus (2013), and Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus 2013 . Norton and Webroot tied for top score in my malware removal test, with 6.6 points. Bitdefender, with 6.4 points, wasn't far behind.

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