It if it does then you do per definition not have Common Sense

Use an Adblocker, and Linux. You are now free from 90% of malwares

Kaspersky. CIA and FBI are scared of it because they don't play ball with them and block all malware (unlike US-based AV companies which whitelist some FBI/NSA shit).

>>62116277
I hardly miss any software to be quite honest, but that's just me. Give me an OS with a good C++ compiler, a decent text editor or an IDE, a good POSIX shell, MPV, a PDF reader and a browser and I'm good

>Linux distro
Don't use one.

>Windows 10
Whatever comes with W10

Anti-Malware software isn't magic. If you are stupid it can help sometimes. But the best protection is to know the most common ways people get malware on their computer. And then don't do those things.

Also, people come to /g/ all the time asking this stupid question. It is annoying. So hold on to your butt.

I recently revived an old netbook I had lying around.

Installed Baidu antivirus on it.
No AV on my main machine though.

Thoughts?

It pisses off the NSA. Read the Snowden leaks.

I swear people on this board are fucking retarded

You don't need an antivirus. You just need to have common sense and have the knowledge of the difference between an obvious suspicious file to a normal legit file.

But answering your question, I use Microsoft Security Essentials, because I use Windows 7 and it at least doesn't put more options behind a price to pay.

Before installing an antivirus on your system, google "antivirus vulnerability" and reconsider whether doing so will actually improve your security.

No idea about Baidu AV or how good it is.

The reason why FBI is pissed off about Kaspersky AV is because Kaspersky refused to cooperate with them.

American AV companies cannot be trusted. At all. Symantec/McAffee, for example, is known to have removed NSA and FBI malware from their database. Even John McAffee says McAffee AV sucks shit (he literally said that "McAfee antivirus is one of the worst products on the planet").

Even F-Secure removed QWERTY from their database when USG requested it.

Leaked Valult7 CIA docs say that Kaspersky's the hardest to disable and bypass and they said they have no easy way to do it. After CIA leaks were revealed, Kaspersky went ballistic and started hardening their shit even further so the methods that the CIA used to disable other AVs would never work in Kaspersky.

Only Kaspersky is refusing to play ball with USG and now they're paying the price for it. FBI and neocon media is spreading FUD about them and morons fall for it.

Personally, I trust Kaspersky more than any other AV because they expose all nation state malware... even the Russian ones!

not an argument, Shlomo.

Bit Defender, very low resource usage. Works.

>>62116216
I still use avast, free, works, low resources, only ever got one virus from the internet with it.

Nobody uses antivirus anymore, the drag and annoyance of running an anti-virus is worse than the risk of actually getting a virus. It's only appropriate if you need a strong security posture for some reason, and even then antiviruses are all botnets.

>>62117511
My philosophy is basically that I only want to be part of one botnet at a time, and I would rather be part of the American Five Eyes botnet than the Russian KGB botnet.

GNU/Linux, no need for AV

An antivirus is not a fucking subjective preference. You choose the one that blocks the most threats.

PERIOD!

It depends on whether you live in an American or Russian protectorate state. If you live in the US or one of the 5-eyes or 14-eyes countries, you should not be using American products. Why? A simple court order can reveal all your data. You're better off using a russian botnet since they can't put you in jail and won't share your data with law enforcement of your country.
