HOW SCREWED AM I IF I INSTALL A GOOD ANTI VIRUS, AND THEN SWAP HARD DRIVES?
Basically, we wish to buy a great Anti-Virus progran similar to Shield Delux, Webroot, or McAfee. However, could we implement this anti pathogen again after restoring a tough expostulate or after removing a brand new a single (better one) similar to we devise to do inside of a subsequent month or so? we do not wish to have to buy a antivirus module again as well as outlay which most some-more money.

Yes, you should be able to do this. If you run into a snag, call or message customer service and explain the situation. They will be able to give you a way to reload.
You shouldn’t run into any problems at all. Microsoft and Mac are the only companies that are “proprietary” about the hardware their Operating Systems run on. Windows for ‘anti-piracy’ reasons and Mac….well that’s just what Mac has always done.
****Why pay out badly needed money for something you can get for free?
Avast AV is every bit as good as and/or than the progs that you listed. All you have to do is Register it (free) each year to get updates. The paid version only gives you the ability to schedule automated scans. So the free version is plenty!

Yes, you should be fine from any of the major antivirus software companies. They know that people upgrade their hard disks from time to time. Just reinstall, enter the licence details again and everything should work. Any problems, email or telephone support to reload.
Not all antivirus or Internet Security programs are the same. Have a look at the reviews on http://www.datadefender.net to compare the major suppliers. There are links to manufacturers sites to purchase or download a free trial.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
