I stopped by to say pretty much the same thing that compmanio36 said. I also support several people and computers amongst family and friends. I have gotten asked about the popups lately and I am still seeing them. Being a Comcast subscriber for now, I have Norton Security Suite offered to me for free with my ISP subscription. Some of the other people that I support also have this option.
FWIW, I repair PC's for free, and am the technology go-to guy for nearly everything, especially anti-virus. I keep a *tight* track of year to year progress in AV-Comparatives.org. I also have NSS. And ------punted it------ for a simple reason: runaway bandwidth hogging processes. There are routine complaints about it, and lots of "well I had that and try this" which only sometimes works. I finally gave and am moving
everyone over to Avast free. BTW, it took some digging to discover this, but NSS is *NOT* 360. It's based
upon 360, but is a standalone product of its own, with its own sets of hooey.
I was a huge advocate of NIS from 2009 on (when they redesigned it to not suck the CPU to zero). And then recently....tried NSS for months, which was a disaster.
