Topic: Antivirus programs. (Read 1494 times)
Malwarebytes is good enough for me. But yeah, an ondemand antivirus is sometimes nice. But I think it's more annoying then anything. Linux is great, not sure what you have against it.
I'm using Kaspersky Internet Security for years, it's pretty good but don't forget you're not 100% safe with an antivirus, you have to be careful.
Antivirus is dead! Even Norton engineers say so......

At the most, they only detect maybe 45% of what's out there. But hell, it does give users that "false sense" of security!

Oh shut the fuck up. You have no idea how security works. The journalist wrote a tear-grabbing article to seem edgy. End-device AV isn't a catch-all solution, but it's a layer of security. "45% of what's out there". That's an absolute fucking shit number. Say there's 100 new viruses, brand fucking new. It catches 45 / 100 on day 1. Then day 2 it catches another 10 more (as definitions are updated). By the end of week 1, all 100 viruses are in the signature database. The only way the virus can remain undetected is polymorphic code and self-modification. In the end, heuristic scans can detect that sort of behavior.
Of course, you read an article on pcworld, so you must know everything about security and the entire security field. Right?
Honestly, this entire fucking thread gave me cancer. Seriously, it's not that fucking complicated to download and install an AV product.
Wow...somebody hasn't got laid in a very loooong time! Your sexual frustrations are showing in your posts.
Anyhow, although I agree with some of your post, reality is antivirus programs are weak at best and give users a false sense of security. There is know way for them to know and detect everything being released day after day. They pretty much can only detect what they "know about" in their already discovered database. This gap is where people are vulnerable. So unless you are sand boxing your new installs and not running in admin mode you are at a potential risk. I am not stupid so I do run antivirus on my PC, but it's days as a useful utility are numbered. People need to take additional precautions and not solely rely on their AV suite.
Btw...I run NO antivirus protection on my Ipad.(lol)...and it is jailbroken.
"Oh, I'm wrong. I better insult him by saying he doesn't get laid often." Makes sense if you're 14.
Bullshit about the whole "being smart". All it takes is a well known site that you frequent to be exploited. Hackers toss in a 0day drive-by vulnerability, and you're owned.
Literally the shit coming from your mouth is exactly that, shit.
I don't use anything and just restore if I get something. Anti virus software are made by the very same people who create the spyware malware viruses in the first place
Buy this.
Nothing is better, than it.

BitDefender is best antivirus and antimalware software now is no.1 on mostsafty antivirus list

Even if the real number would be 45% it is much better than 0%...
So I see no reason to bury these "dead" antivirus programs.

Haha there are a ton of 9 month bitdefender antivirus codes floating around, I got one for $1. Try and find a guy that has one.
Malwarebytes is the best antimalware
Bitdefender is the best antivirus.
using a cocktail of both of these is very effective.

malware bytes anti malware pro + windows defender. make sure you configure the firewall and when uninstalling new programs remove the rules, and you should be good to go.
Free antivirus normally has 30 days validity. So now you need to buy antivirus.
AVG
it's free and better than avast imho
it's free and better than avast imho
If you download something sketchy and it doesn't pick it up, run your proccesses to see if anything weird is running.
Honestly, what I use at home on my windows machine is Microsoft Security Essentials...Seems to actually work okay and does a decent job.
There are many, but itś better to use vmware image. In case there is a virus - you can always go back to older copy
You can try mcafee antivirus too, it's an good antivirus.
Try free avg, so far no problem with it..
