Topic: best antivirus (Read 2273 times)
I use Eset Smart Security and Malwarebytes. If you update them regularly and are careful of what you do you should be okey.
I just got a new mac and putting windows on hald of the HD. My question is what is the best antivirus to use? I have only used OSX until now. Thanks
Free avg...
avg is good actually and I use it and have never had a problem up to now.
Linux
"Bitdefender" High Grade security.
yes! this is my favorite one...
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.
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.

Avast and MalwareBytes are a winning combo imo

Nod32 or Bit defender and staying away from dodgy websites is best way to avoid any kind of attack.
I'm using free avg so far it is the best.
I am using nod32. Works well comparing to other antivirus it does not hang my system.
I don't use any specific antivirus software, if i system infected i will just format it
Kaspersky
Free Avast
Free AVG is the best... cause its free..
I just switched to Kaspersky and I must say I am pretty impressed with the setup.
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).
can you get avg for mac.

ESET or Microsoft Security Essentials (you'd be surprised 
)

none, other than malware bytes. bet you didn't know antivirsus programs can give your computer a virus.
I think ESET antivirus/internet security is the best
then the title should say best data protection antivirus
People here are interested mostly, how to protect data wallet, and not how to removal "FBI WARNING"
different "best" for himself
Data protection is bigger issue, than virus/malware removal, after your Data is violated.

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 
) and ESET takes more of your RAM and processing power when Avira is so easy on your GPU
There are so many details on different antiviruses that every individual would probably have a different "best" for himself

i use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
The human brain isn't always reliable.
I don't use av normally but whenever I do, I use Comodo Internet security ( comes with anti-virus, firewall, sandbox, Comodo browser) or kaspersky pure and malwarebyets anti malware.
I'm using the Comodo package at the moment and it seems to work great. Look into it.
The human brain.
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.

COMODO works like shit. I always have to turn it off
Are you talking about the free version firewall only or the other crap that come with ?The best antivirus is yourself :
Don't download shit and don't visit dodgy site !

You know it is dodgy when you are looking for dodgy stuff.
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.

I recommend NOD32.
CCleaner to clean the browser cache
NoScript addon for Firefox
COMODO as a firewall
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to scan infected computer
Spybot - Search & Destroy for trojan/keyloger
Most free antivus are good then : Avast, AVG, Avira, Panda Cloud, NOD32

If the VM is going to connect to the internet yes. Malware/Spyware is more common than viruses in most cases. Malwarebytes is what I typically use.
