Topic: What Antivirus are you using? - page 24. (Read 30710 times)
I've tried using Norton, Bitdefender and Malwarebytes. They worked pretty good when I'm using them, esp. Malwarebytes, it really detects and removes malicious programs in my PC that sometimes other anti virus software missed. It is just based on my experience
I'm not using any Antivirus. I live on the edge.
I'm not using using any Antivirus, I'm using linux os.
im currenly using avast, before it im used AVG and both work well.
I'm currently using Kaspersky, so far It detects most of the viruses and malwares.
I was probably the person who often like to replace anti-virus, don't know why, it seems no one has matched or maybe I like to experiment with something new. Earlier I use McAfee, Norton, Avira, Kaspersky, Panda, avg, avast and others that are not so well known, and this time I tried 360 total security, free and have some anti-virus engine.
Wow, you pretty much tried them all

I don't use antivirus at all. I use deep freeze and common sense.
I personally use MSE, since it is a lightweight and very unobtrusive client.
However if I am trying to clear viruses from the machine I use a whole suite of scans that can take up to 6-8 hours to finish.

MSE is just basic, you better use an antivirus in addition to it.

avast
Kaspersky with a license is very strong. Kills all those "bugs" in system.
But it eats too much resources.

Really you got to have something to protect your system, don't say it will never happen because it very well could.
Stay safe.

Ransomware can be injected to vulnerable websites with very low security,any one can get it.
Hackers do this mostly.
Any website you visit is at risk, so take care and have adequate protection.
It is not about what site you visit.

Ive never understood what antivirus progs are needed for. Id use it if i had a kid maybe. I used to have on my desktop but that was years ago. I dont even remember the name
Right?
I don't understand what people do in order to get these viruses/trojans/etc. - it's common sense, really
I unboxed a netbook for a co-worker & set everything up....ONE WEEK LATER she had 500+ infections.
Another co-worker gave me her laptop & there are over 1500 infections. FIFTEEN. HUNDRED. I CAN'T EVEN QUARANTINE THEM with MWB (I can remove them but the POS spits out a stale cigarette smell so I've been procrastinating)
Ransomware - how are people even getting ransomware nowadays? What are you doing/visiting/clicking? I just don't understand
thats good effort in a week, cmon! Really good job
