I don't have to pay?

Do you need a daemon?

Free antiviruses are garbage and are more of viruses themselves.
Either pay for a good one or don't be a retard on the internet and actually use common sense while downloading files. I reccomend the latter.

and what pray tell is a good one?

I've noticed that Security Essentials will now automatically delete/quarantine "suspected" files by default now. Back then, it would prompt you first before doing any actions. If you are using things like activators then you will have to change Essential's settings first.

What exactly are you doing that makes you think you need aftermarket virus protection?

If your doing basic enterprise operations that aren't monitored daily, a cloud-based heuristic solution with local IPS will handle everything a civilian can throw at you.

>>59361878
People like kaspersky but it's resource heavy. Not an anti-virus but people also love to mention malwarebytes since it can detect shit for you if you've downloaded it but it won't actively work as an antivirus.
I've heard panda and comodo are good but I don't use them. I currently have bitdefender but I don't really like it and have malwarebytes but running it now is lame because the ui doesn't open up and it's been taxing my cpu lately.

Nsa and ghco (whatever the Uk's version of the Nsa is) already came out in 2015 and said they could get through kaspersky anyway. It's spyware now but average joes will still enjoy anti-virus capabilities. Regardless, most AV are shit anyways and are parasites themselves, coиstantly asking you to upgrade or get a full version.

>came out in 2015
I mean they made an announcement after it was leaked that they could get past it and use it as spyware. They would never admit to this shit unless it was leaked beforehand.

Peter Norton would never had said this. Well he might have, but it would have been an exercise in irony

>>59362091
Malwarebytes is bloatware now.

Don't download that piece of shit.

>>59366103
Any alternatives or is adblockers and common sense good enough? I've needed it before for my mom's work laptop but never on my own builds.

>Avast used to be alright (imo at least)
>starts fucking displaying literal clickbait popups in the corner of your screen overtop everything (except fullscreen applications) and begging for "bls ubgraybe :((((" pretty regularly

I'm not very religious, no.

no such thing.

>Unironically not running an OS that automatically downloads more RAM.

>>59361878

av is a lie. it gives you a false sense of security and most of all it gives you the feeling you took charge of your PC's security.

In fact you did nothing at best but probably you installed an application that runs as administrator that scans every file on your PC and reports anything it finds to it's creator.

Only files? Oh, also your emails and everything you type in websites including CC info.

>>59361878
I used AVG for years until they started adding popups that just got worse and worse. Now I use Avira, which seems ok. Still some popups but it doesn't close games like AVG and they only happen to me like once every other day.

>>59361878
Your brain if you have one.

malware bytes is bretty gud

if you need an antivirus you dont belong here.

>>59361878
Using a free antivirus is the most retarded thing you can do. Nothing is free, /g/

>>59367021
Also using avira for 2 years. The Luke firewalker shit is driving me insane.

Avast with Malwarebytes hasn't failed me yet [spoiler] that I know about [/spoiler]

Haven't seen one of those in a couple of years.
Thought they went extinct desu.

I'm disappointed in /g/ from this thread. Best AV is literally any adblocker.
