Topic: Best Softwares For Keeping PC Secure ? - page 2. (Read 1813 times)
I take lengths to protect my accounts since Windows can be insecure no matter what. But I use Malwarebytes and Windows Defender.
Windows OS will never be truly safe even if you have good anti-virus or anti spyware.
best is to use linux OS.
if you choose windows use avast and a good firewall, however i would never use that OS when i trade or store btc.
(Be paranoid, use always paper wallets)
true, recently a friend of mine had the bitcointalk account hacked. He is very skilled but he made a naive mistake that compromised all the security settings.

Security is determined by the administrator, not by what software you have installed.

If you run Windows 7 (or later) with a standard user account (non-admin), You're blocking 99% of malware already. Any malware will need admin access to infect your computer. You must be careful before providing admin access to new programs you don't trust yet, and you'll be fine.
Kaspersky Internet Security 2014 is great

I have to say best software is Linux, never had any security issues with it, while on another PC with Windows it's a constant struggle. I'm using Comodo on my Win 7 - it's good.
Your security is on high level. Even if you use free Avast and free Comodo, those are one of best free programs on internet with best free computer antivirus and firewall protection, sometimes even better than some full programs for computer protection.
I don't use bootlegs, linux is the way to roll. 
There is no linux-compatible versions for Battlefield 4 or Titanfall. A lot of other softwares are not compatible with Linux. If you are using your PC just to browse, then Linux is OK. But other than that, Windows is a must.
First you can play many games on Linux thanks to Wine and related program/script.
Secondly, Windows monopoly for video games won't last long but you must know it.
I would celebrate the day when the Windows monopoly for video games is taken down. I hate Windows more than any other computer-related program or hardware. But still, I am forced to use it.
Same here. I have it installed on a seperate HDD for gaming.
Use Kaspersky Internet Security 2014. Very affordable and one of the best of its kind out there. I have been using them for almost three years now, and I have never faced any problem. 
+1
Using Kaspersky for last 5 years and impressed by it.

Antivirus programs (the auto-scanning kind) are snake oil sold to people who are computer illiterate. Use common sense and keep your software up to date.
Avast,this one is awesome.
I use microsoft security essentials
I have Avast and Spybot because they are free. 
as far as i know Avast is not totally Free and the free one sucks..! yeah I'm concerned with my privacy using avast after reading an interesting review about it few weeks ago. The free service is slowing down my pc when it updates and it is beyond annoying. I'm gonna have to figure out what I want soon with all the news these days about security.
I keep using it all the time and it's not slowing down my computer. I think even free version gives enough security. I don't really have any problem.
Exactly this. I am using Avast for a long time. Never had any problems with it. It is not intrusive. Does work done and by any means slows your PC. If you having problems it mus be something more than avast to cause that behaviour.
I'm pretty sure I can run a machine without a single antivirus or program without any issue, it's all about practices, I protect my self, because in some rare occasions, I download some files from untrusted source, a book in PDF format, a software I want to try, some altcoin client ect ect, hence you want to have a sandbox, and antivirus to be safe in some cases, and the software I mentioned previously are doing just fine for me, the last time I had a virus was in 2004 and then it was my fault for downloading a crap ton of garbage and installing it at the time
So if a poll is conducted most of the members are using avast i'm quite skeptical that it is the best out there.!
I use
Avast
Matware defender
they are great PC softwares,and easy to use.

for me Norton 360 is best, never had any issue with that.
Norton always been the worse antivirus. It is considered a virus in itself because it makes the machine cripple.
