No, the best anti-virus software I *would* recommend is Linux.


However, if pressed for some anti-virus for <shudder> Windows, I would 
suggest AVG, found here:

https://www.avg.com.au/?utm_source=avgt

which has a free copy for home use.

I have used NOD32 many years ago and I think, going on memories, that it 
was rated pretty well but I think that the original product was bought 
by NOD and then went expensive. But, as I said, I am working on old 
memories, when I last used W :-) .
