5. antiviruses like McAfee or Norton can help you stay safe from viruses. they simply block the viruses from spreading or doing any harm. Antiviruses can tell you if a site is safe or not ( depending on how good and securely trusted the antivirus is, this information can vary and can be less or more accurate) and whether if you should trust it or not. Antiviruses tell you if a site has a virus, or if it is ok to go on to.

7. I DEFINITELY KNOW THIS BECAUSE I HAVE NORTON!...
Norton antivirus does save you for a lifetime but there is a catch:You will have a subscription and when it expires, Norton still tells you if a file is safe or not, and it still protects your computer, BUT IT SPAMS YOU WITH POP-UPS SAYING NORTON EXPIRED....
if you like constant pop-ups that appear out of nowhere Norton is for you.
