I use Eset Smart Security and Malwarebytes. If you update them regularly and are careful of what you do you should be okey.

When using windows throughout the years I've always found Malwarebytes anti-malware to be the best anti virus program.
It's free unless you want to pay for the 'full' version, but it doesn't get you much more than the free version.
Easy to use, both for protection and scanning. You can find them at; https://www.malwarebytes.org


It's not a anti-virus program, it only scans for malware. Make sure you also have a anti-virus software and of course a firewall too.
Whenever I've used it there has been a protection option avaliable, which actively detects sketchy websites and downloads, doesn't that qualify as a anti-virus?

But it scans these downloads for malware, it does not do the main function of an anti-virus software programm, which is to scan for and remove/quarantine viruses from your hard drive(s) and downloads. It just scans for malware.

If you want the top of the top get Sophos. It's an anti-virus made for companies.

Let's all just settle this with Eset NOD32. As loads of other people have also suggested this, it shows that it must be pretty damn awesome. Plus, when you're "far out" in the internet for a long time, you'll realise it's the best around.

Also, obviously most viruses are written for Windows OS's, so a Linux distro with a AV and firewall would be best, but many of us don't want to use Linux on our home PC's (myself included).

there is no such thing as "the best antivirus" for example of course ESET nod is better then Avira but then again Avira is free and you have to pay for ESET (unless you're a pirate Cheesy ) and ESET takes more of your RAM and processing power when Avira is so easy on your GPU Smiley

There are so many details on different antiviruses that every individual would probably have a different "best" for himself

My preference is for Kaspersky or F-Secure because they don't seem too memory or processor intensive. They both consistently perform well in customer views and the top consumer mags.

Are you asking me to post links of dodgy website containing malicious code ?
No, I'm asking you to define what you mean by dodgy and how we can know something is dodgy.

Basically everything that contain illegal content especially illegal pornography, cracking software, key-generator,...
Also streaming websites are fucking dodgy. I keep saying it, don't watch streaming online for movies/series.

Have to go, will update later.

Some of those site may not appear dodgy. And you can get viruses that are from seemingly legit sites or sources.

Again, define 'dodgy stuff' and how do you know a site or link you click is 'dodgy'?

Why for god-sake would you connect to an unknown insecure WiFi ? You are asking for it.

If someone use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anony.wififinder to create near You a Hotspot with the same name and password and stronger signal, Your Data will be stolen.

Featuring patented cost-efficient GPU acceleration technologies, Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor attempts to recover the original WPA/WPA2-PSK text passwords in order to test how secure your wireless environment is.
