Hi barry, It's not just about interactions that you make. An anti-virus that monitors in real-time will catch malicious software that a Website may try to execute. Unless you are running MAC, you need an anti-virus, or watch your PC go khaboom!

I do wonder if I need AVG running and, perhaps could just use that on demand at weekends too. I don't open dodgy emails, nor download dodgy programmes or music. What do you all think?
