Can't I just get security free online?
Free online security is available; however, they’re not all-in-one multi-level, integrated security like McAfee.
Think of paid security as an investment in your protection. Many free products identify threats but do not automatically remove the danger as paid versions do.
Also, some free programs share data with advertisers to provide a free service. Not only does this mean you’ll be served ads, but your privacy is also at risk.
