It wouldn't make good business sense for us to do that. The McAfee package we provide is free with some of our products and chargeable with others but no one should be paying for that service that isn't using it..

I certainly do not expect plusnet or any other isp to lower there prices because we don't use the software they offer.
I do not like Norton or McAfee security software so i told plusnet i do not want it but i also do not expect them to discount my internet price.

A virus that gets past McAfee security software might be detected with Norton antivirus

I haven't had a virus or malware for years and all i use is Microsoft security and MalwareBytes as these 2 programs work fine for me.
There are a lot of people who would not touch Microsoft security but we all use our pc's differently so what works for one won't be ideal for someone else.

Would agree with steveuk, Malwarebytes is a good on demand malware scanner

I have used many of them over the years including Avast and AVG but having used the internet for 17 odd years i have become more wise about what to look out for while browsing.
MalwareBytes is good and they have a free version or you can pay to get extra features but its more for detecting Malware so use it along side an antivirus program.
Avast was good when i used it but that was some years ago now.
I used to use AVG all the time until they added more features and i then found it to be a bit annoying.
