Ok /b/, Where are the tech savvy anons at? So I just bought an

Is it a good brand? I was thinking about buying one myself but incant choose between msi or an alienware (about the same price)

You got played anon, the computer is the virus. You have to throw your computer out the window or else the virus will infect you will die.

Windows Defender and MalwareBytes AntiMalware. You also need common sense. Other than that youre fine.

linux is the best anti-virus.

It's got great hardware in it. I've had 3 ASUS laptops and so far I like this a lot more. I want to make sure I get the best protection for the big investment I made in it.

Still using that one. Works pretty well, no impact on PC performance.

Interesting. I would've thought Windows Defender was more of a joke in the realm of antivirus software. On the topic of common sense, I don't install or download anything that isn't reputable (Steam, VLC, CCleaner, etc.) however i don't have a go to VPN that I trust. Any recommendations there?

Can't exactly haul my desktop to work with me.

That's why you have a gaming tower and a work laptop.

don't get one

Or a gaming tower and a gaming laptop. Because I get paid to sit around and play video games for 12 hours at work.

MSi is god damn good shit.

>>723435829
MSI is an amazing gaming laptop. Easily better then alienware garbage. You pay for the name with alienware. Nothing in those machines are any better than anything else. An MSI or Asus that is 1500-2000 dollars cheaper has the same parts as the more expensive alienwares.

Then a gaming tower at home, and another one at work. Then you don't need to carry that underpowered and overweight piece of shit everyday

Msi computers are okay in my opinion.(I would never own one) If you need an antivirus, windows defender + malware bytes should be fine.

Thank you sir. You are a gentleman

>>723436738
You don't need a VPN, just don't do illegal shit at home.

>>723438234
Have you ever heard of travelling you fucking autist?

>>723438251
This person knows what they're talking about. Do not pay for any of the ridiculous anti-virus programs that slow down your computer worse than 99% of the viruses out there while not protecting you.

>>723438435
I need a VPN to circumvent the firewall at work so that I can do my school work. I'm not doing anything illegal.

>>723435447
Fuck having a antivirus. Just raw dog the internet

I work in IT Security and Malware Analysis. This is a legit pick. Windows Defender is very good, mixed with Malwarebytes and Brain. The last one is the best protection.

>>723438586
Thank you. I had trend micro on a previous laptop and it was using the most RAM of all programs on my computer.

Malwarebytes and avg is all you need freind

>>723438629
Why would you bring a gaming laptop to work so you can do school work, are you not at work to you know DO YOU FUCKING JOB. Your story doesn't add up faggot.
