    I suspect not for long, with the new free VPN feature they're introducing. *Wink

    Now that got my attention. I'm using Opera right now. I don't see myself trying this on this laptop just yet, but maybe I'll play with it a bit on my netbook. *Smile

    Personally I use Panda free AV on Win 10. I used to use Avast free version but seems a bit of a hog on booting. http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/deta...antivirus.html

    Combined with Windows Firewall and Malwarebytes Pro that's all I use. As a 'Cloud' AV it works very well. Nice bit is if you connect an external drive you get a pop-up offering to scan it. Worth a look anyway.
