I use avast. Blocks bad shit when I'm looking at weird animal porn but it also makes popups whenever I go to porn sites as well. Overall I'd rate it 7.5/10

Avira, even though it's fucking annoying.

Best to install firefox, with ad block plus, and use No Script and learn what to trust and what not to. Don't open attachments from email that's not business related.

Zero viruses and bullshit for the last 8+ years and I run nothing. I install avira and run it occasion and run malwarebytes once in a while too. Tracking cookies tops.

>>594548670
They all catch the same shit. Antivirus labs collaborate and share their findings. The best way to increase your detection ratio is to use bullshit heuristics that flag EVERYTHING as a virus. If you arrest EVERYONE, there will be no criminals on the street because there will be nobody on the street. Antivirus companies actually use logic like that. Choose an antivirus based on interface rather than "protection." Anything confirmed virus will be detected by all of them pretty quickly, and unless you're really unlucky or extremely stupid (do you have AIDS? have you been struck by lightning?) you won't catch anything before it's detected.

My #1 criteria for AV is giving me the choice whether to quarantine something or not. You'd be surprised how many just quarantine a "virus" without permission or even notification. False positives are everywhere, and they're not even honest mistakes. Antivirus is a fucking racket somewhere in between big pharma and mobsters selling protection.

None, if you're not retarded that is.

Malwarebytes is still fine, just dont use the active bs same with spybot, keep the free versions and run them if you think you might have something i use no active AV, it really is just commonsense, adblockers in whatever browser you use is a huge help

>>594556773
Yeah, go pay Symantec and call it good. They're the best and everyone knows it.

I don't get how you all get infected.
Browsing the internet won't get you viruses, trying to listen to .exe music does.
Whenever you download something, scan it with an antivirus and an anti-malware program.
Don't download toolbars or free smileys.
Don't care about spam emails.
Always make sure that you're really on the website you think you're on.
Often check what programs are running on your computer, investigate anything suspicious.
That's it.

explain.

>>594549824
you're a dumb shit... you do not need to be a hacker, you just need not be a stupid fuck.

>Hrrr durrr

>2015, still using an anti-virus

Stay pleb.

>>594561633
whats bad about it? I am on 2014 free now.

>>594560744
It's funny how it goes. Deleting system32 fucks up your PC, yet it actually is true that most virus try hiding there, so you'd actually be solving your virus problem

>>594563463
Dumbass, the people that made the software already get paid when it's released. Not even the shittiest company will deny payment until something sell a certain amount.

The team makes their money regardless of sales.

> Macs not getting viruses
That was only the case when the were such a small part of the market they were not worth targeting. Plenty of Macs have viruses now and the user is too stupid to know it or thinks a Mac is not a computer and somehow immune. Infact every hackathon in the past 5 years has raped all Apple software in laughable time.

>>594563782
such as?

>>594564554
well its basically free as long as you don't need to do anything with it

>>594564806
Would you like to see a list of russian torrent trackers? Not sure it will help you.

>>594564967
I use the scan and the web shield. Leave it on silent mode. See the new one has some sort of network scan/protection?? can that be turned off?

>>594565066
can't read that shit and google translator just fucks it all up so...
>also, any working bay mirrors? mine are all dead, and the croatian has load of malicious shit all over the site, and 99% of results in torrenz are on very shady sites

>>594548670
i like wiping windows completely off the harddrive and installing Linux, then you dont have to worry about anti-virus, just set up a good IPTables firewall and your good to go

>>594548670

Quit being a stupid nigger and learn how to trace threads and identify an infection by yourself... Then nuke the HDD and reinstall the OS... If your shit isn't already backed up then loosing it is your punishment and reminder to do it next time before hand...

Mac OS.

>>594564757

Doesn't alter the fact that I've been using Macs since 2002 and have never, ever, not once EVER had a virus. Ever. E V E R.

Pay twice for your system OS.

>>594566608

Ah... I'm 34, I have four Macs at present (go ahead, rage. rage *hard*) I have paid for every one myself.

The narrative of 'your mom pays for your stuff' really only exists in the mind of people for whom this is a reality.

Commence rage pls.

wut.

All versions of Mac OS have been free for the last two versions, before that they were around $20.

No one is gonna have to pay for a version of Mac OS ever again; they just give it away now.
