Topic: Best antivirus? - page 2. (Read 45764 times)
My antivirus programme is Karspersky. i updated new version yesterday. New version is very fast. i advice you.
malwerebytes and get premium great for me.
bitdefender is pretty good too. On the 30 days trial version now but considering buying the subscription.
I would say Norton because it is least intrusive of users privacy.
Right its good, but makes my PC hang a lot, any suggestions ?
I use Avast
antivirus avg and avast online security

If you need to use Windows, use GPOs to prevent Drive-By-Downloads from executing (there are tutorials on the net for this). Consider a second opinion scanner for your email in case you are social engineered (that is, receive fake email).
An Antivirus should always be your last line defense, because when it kicks in, usually a file is already present on your system and has been attempted to execute!
If you do have a properly configured OS, your need for A/V software would suddenly drop. Even more so if you have a complete security concept - consider your network, your internet accounts (from email, to boards, to everything), a security policy (like companies do) and an OS that follows this policy.
Anyway... stay away from M$ Defender, stay away from any "free" A/V software - they're mostly adware anyway. Use a manufacturer that doesn't publish a "free" version.
The WAY best antivirus though is situational awareness (to avoid social engineering) and a properly configured OS. Doesn't really matter if it's Linux or Windows - configure it the right way, you're safe. F*** up... and youre, well, f***d up.
Have fun, be safe!

Even a Windows OS is virusfree with Avast, VirtualBox for app testing and common sense. 
1-kaspersky total security 2- eset smart security
I think every antivirus has its own advantages.
but I more often wear avast because it is lighter in use

Best antivirus is Debian 
Debian ? Does it provide total security including internet security ?
Debian is an OS that is 99.99% immune to viruses, the OS is built to be immune by default, no need for other antivirus.
for me norton is the best and nothing can really change it for me
Everyone will have their favorite, and I'm no different. I've tried many of those listed and come up with my best choices for FREE ones.
Goto Majorgeeks.com, it's a great site to get lots of FREE programs for your various needs.
I use SUPERANTISPYWARE FREE, it is very aggressive in cleaning, even cookies. And you'd be surprised how many cookies you can get by being online. You need some cookies to let your computer work on internet, but most of them are bad unwanted ones.
I always run it in COMPLETE mode, because it will scan everywhere, to find everything. Be careful when downloading, it will try and sell you their paid version. Also, watch what you check off little boxes, as with ANY free version, they always want to sell you their paid version.. Let's face it, they don't get anything for giving stuff away. But this is an extremely good cleaner.

Are there even any good antivirus out there that is absolutely free? I used to have Avira because it's pretty plain and simple.

I've been using norton for a couple of years now, haven't found anything that i'm not satisfied with
I've been using F-secure for about 3 years now, I haven't had a single problem with it
I am currently using malware bytes and it proved effective for me.
