How is /g/ liking the new malwarebytes? It now replaces

Common Sense 2017 still seems like a better choice to bh.

these trial versions of Mcaffe and stuff are shit. I can't believe they are allowed to run without actually working and don't set off the notifications that you have no antivirus if the trial expired.

>>58548431
>antivirus
if you need AV, get kaspersky. everything else is a joke and gives you a false sense of protection.

you're better off with no AV because at least then you'll be extra careful about what you download and run.

Even when I do somehow the nasty buggers still can get through.

Is the active protection on Malwarebytes not trash anymore?

lel'd. it's the only AV deployed at most banks and fin institutions.

>>58548431
Terrible. I stick to 2.2.1, it's not like you have to update. Engine works the same and databases still update. Real time protection is trial/paid only and the whole point of malwarebytes is that it is not running constantly, which means it's not data mining you 24/7 like all AV.

I lost faith in it when it wanted to spend a literal minute spinning up to scan a single fucking file.
Original version was good, 2+ a shit.
You can actually send your shit to virustotal and get feedback faster than it takes to even start and they use it as well.

Surprisingly enough, I've caught things with it that both mbam and wd didn't. Even infected apk files I had stored on my hard drive.

Bitdefender is good too.

>>58548431
It's shit

Why did they turn the free version into a castrated premium? I used MBAM as an on-demand scanner, I don't want it to constantly run in the background.

Plus it installs some anonymous "driver" to scan for rootkits and requires reboot, Windows doesn't even notify you of any driver installation, previous versions didn't do this.

Guess there's no good non-invasive virus scanners for Windows anymore

Malwarebytes, my son
To detect rootkit
Yuo must become rootkit

If you're on /g/ and feel the need of an antivirus, just so you know, your place is on reddit.

And you have never cleaned anyones computer?

>>58548949
Ofcourse, salvage whatever you can, format, clean install, copy back clean files. Done. I don't trust a program to do its job perfectly at removing malware.

>>58548472
Windows 8.1 and 10 tells you when trials run out.
And, if you're going to use an AV why don't just uninstall it as soon as you get a new machine and put the full one?

>>58548949

If you've actually followed Microsofts advice you'd realize that the only way to clean a compromised system is to reinstall windows.

>>58549098
what about bios rootkits

better just buy a whole new machine

>>58549036
>>58549098
And that is what I do, but I want to see what kinds of shit they've managed get. And sometimes they're too stubborn to give a permit for a reinstall.

>>58549151
Those are so rare they might as well not exist.

This sounds perfect. Why isn't it recommended more often?

Don't know.

My activation tool doesn't work on the new version. So, I opted to not have antivirus at all because fuck you Common Sense 2017 Special Edition right here.

Too poor for a Mac. Too stupid for Linux.

so, should I remove Malwarebytes?

>>58549820

given how much /g/ hates Windows Update, most of /g/ doesn't use this either.

>Too stupid for Linux
This is no longer a valid excuse with distros like Mint and Elementary OS available. After working with both Linux based distros and OS X, I can honestly say I find Linux even easier to figure out and get used to.

>>58548448
I've been running Common Sense 2005 since it was released, and I think I've had one single mixup with malware in that entire time.

nod32 master race

I've tried installing on W10 and the OS simply crashed and didn't booted unless I ran recovery mode and unnistalled all recent programs.

>>58551756
same happened to me a couple months ago
only happened after I enabled the live monitoring, no fucking idea why though

So, is malwarebytes no longer /ourguy/

Is it any better than microsoft security essentials for win 7?

>>58551879

Good thing my operating system is GNU slash Linux, I don't need that.
