Already got PC security?
Many PCs come with a free trial of a security package, or you might have bought separate software, but these expire. As soon as they do, you'll need to
pay to update them, because out of date security software is completely useless!
At Virgin Media, we believe your security is essential, so we provide Virgin Media Security free of charge as long as you're with us, and
we'll update your software regularly - absolutely free.
