Free is not always best

I had the opportunity to try 2 antivirus programs for free. I thought--wow! Great! I'll save $40 by not having to buy Norton. Well, $40 would have been a lot cheaper than the expense and hassle of the programs (McAffee and Bitdefender) which led to the demise of my computer =(

I wasn't using them at the same time, but I hadn't completely uninstalled Bitdefender before I had tried to install McAffee and McAffee locked up my computer. =( Big lesson learned...

Free is not always the best choice...
