Avast premium, well, I personally love Avast, but because of it's UI and features. By protection means there are far better options. Like, (sadly enough) norton pro has covered the most areas, along with kaspersky.

One day my friend's grandmother had a computer that had sat for months because it could not connect to the internet... Nobody knew why it wouldn't work, they had tried many different things to fix it but nothing worked

 

It turns out I was the chosen one! I found out that some

- The pretty good antivirus, which you can get with the free version anyway

Don't pay for antivirus. You don't have to worry too much about using a VPN unless you want to be anonymous on the internet. You should use Avast! free protection because it has everything you should need

Well i had a little scare on teamspeak when some guy joined and just said hey im a hacker and i could prove it. So i got banned from a lobby and so did my other buddies. He said he was from 4chan ? So that's why im just asking. But so i should just keep the free anti virus and go for a VPN then ?

You don't need a VPN for that. Some kid who thinks he's a hacker and joins teamspeak can do almsot nothing.. DDoS you, Which should last only a short while since that dumb hacker kid would be wasting his internet speed just to attack you and he gets nothing out of it since you aren't a streamer or anything. Plus I doubt he's a real hacker, saying "I'm from 4chan" and going to fuck with people in teamspeak is just dumb. It's probably some kid who found out a way to disconnect people from that specific channel of teamspeak. You should only use VPNs in specific situations, don't worry about some dumb kid
