I think that if you check the logs, you'll see that these programs are constantly warding off minor attacks and threats.

I just switched from paying $70/year for Norton to the free AVG. So far so good. I've had several folks in the IT industry tell me that especially if you're just cruising the web here and there, the free programs work just fine

Just for fun I took your advice and you were right. There have been things removed or blocked. Not many and most are tracking cookies but one was related to identity protection.

If your AV is doing a good job, you won't really know it is there for the most part. Some can be set to pop up an alert when a Virus or other threat is detected. Not sure anyone really wants to be pestered tho.
