Good grief, yes, go renew right now. If a virus ever shuts your computer down and you can't get it to restart again without reshutting itself down each time, it's the worst! I clicked on one of those entertainment websites and boom, my computer began going crazy within just a few minutes, throwing up about 80 different windows and shut down, never to come back without reshutting down itself down immediately as it was trying to start up. I couldn't even get it into Safe Mode, which I knew I needed to try to do, though I never know what to do in that mode.
A friend of my sons was able to use something of his to bypass something or the other and get it up, run virus/malware/etc. and he's the one who put Malwarebytes on it, which I used once regularly I got it back again. But eventually that computer ran out of space with all my audio books and photos on it and I had to get my new laptop. It came with Norton Antivirus on it for a free trial but I bought the Internet Security package at the computer store and put it on immediately.
I have my Norton on auto-renew so that it's automatically renewed each year. Once I got their Internet Security program, no more viruses or vicious malware has gotten into my computer and I never have to worry about going on any website. I think it's just about $55.00 or so yearly and from the research I did online, well worth the extra protection it gives over just the regular antivirus program.
