Malwarebytes is not an antivirus. If you're gonna bitch about cloud-based I don't think there's a single one that isn't; try Avast and see if it is cloud based too.

>>219741
what is cloud based exactly? does it need internet connection to scan?

I've read conflicting reports about this one.

also to add, I'd like one that's not constantly running in the background and has the ability to turn off daily scheduled scans.

It's all you need

That's stoopid.

The whole point of even having an antivirus is to stop the malware before it's got in an encrypted all your files.

I just paid £14.95 for 10 multi device licences for Kaspersky Internet Security.

That's practically free.

I've been using Kaspersky for years and haven't had a virus while it's been installed. Last time I got a virus was with McAfee, and before that it was with Norton.

That's also a quarter of the price their own website sells them for.

Are you sure you didn't just pirate it and pay some guy for no reason?

Look on ebay, there are loads of cheap licenses. Mine came through the post with an official unopened cd case containing the official cd. Activation code printed on the included insert.

A few years ago I bought it half price from a shop, sealed packaging.

I have no idea why Kaspersky make it possible for traders to drastically undercut themselves.

Usually a person starts with a certain amount and is able to increase it through "learning" and "experience".
If you've started too low or you are not able to gain more, you may be "retarded". There's no real cure, but I suggest you check out some special clinics.

>>220614
would a pirated kaspersky be as efficient?

I'm guessing so, as it's the same code. It just needs activating.

Download the free month's trial and see if it suits you.
