				Do you really think free versions of Anti-virus work better than paid? Do you think its ever worth paying for them?

				I think free antivirus do not work as good, but they are good for basic tasks where security may not be super important like more security concerned users who run a home business, big business, and a police station where a data leak can cause the whole business to go bankrupt from lawsuits, and bad news.

				any reason you think they don't work as good? I think they aren't made to be more better running like the paid ones.

				Some free AV comes with missing features like malware scanning.

				Free ones as I've noticed are more resource heavy and can contain ads.

				I wonder if the ads may accidentally link to fake websites.

since its possible with google ads then I would have to say yes, the possibility exists.
