Recommended AV?

I feel doing online giveaways can be a better way to promote their AV and get more users for an antivirus, and users won't need to spend time using a pen to fill it out, and mailing a letter.

I think the AV makers rather include free addons than give away free AV.

I think most AV have free trials like 30 days. The giveaway AV version can have a longer amount of free time like 3 month. I feel some of the free add-ons like free online storage, and VPN would not convince many people to upgrade to a paid AV.

I think norton actually got a lot of people from its lifelock service.

A lot of store bought computers may come pre-install with Norton in the past which may help Norton become so popular.

that or mcafee, always a pain to remove.

It is too bad that McAfee and Norton does not make an uninstaller which is faster and easier to use.
