Should i buy Malwarebytes ?

I've win 10 and I haven't noticed that it slows anything down.
On older PC(s) the runtime protection can be truly noticeable as anti-virus install hooks/watchdogs on most common functions used by malware. Thus with all the extra services they run to keep your PC safe from virus, can make it quite heavy in terms of resources. ( I believe, AVAST did nearly 32 hooks, imagine having a single process processing all the calls that all the processes do to those particular functions ).
Nowadays, if you do not execute anything at all but browse, you should be safe, the sandbox of modern browsers is brilliant. However you should never allow sites to execute flash, it is just bad, you can get easily infected with flash no matter the browser you have. A customer of us recently got infected with a miner when browsing a page, after enabling flash, even on latest chrome, they managed to execute the binary on his machine.
 
Thank you so much guys for all your feedbacks. They are very valuable to me. I think i will just stick after all with the paid version of bitdefender and the free version of Malwarebytes, since i notice that bitdefender acts a bit like malwarebytes when it comes to detecting potential threat websites


Don't you have any compatibility issues between both of them ?

Never had any issues for the past 3 years.
 
360 total security is free and have multiple engines.
they have premium version too, with some extra addons but usually free version works just fine.
 
Generally it's a bad idea to use more than 1 AV/AM because they can conflict
I don't use anything personally, don't be stupid and you're fine.
Very true. Use your brain wisely while on the internet and everything will be fine. Get some basic extensions for the browser you use and it will block unwanted popups and ad & adwares.
 
It is very usefull removed some virus that other programs cant remove from my pc i recommencement it yes
 
I have never used antivirus and i use internet more than 10 years.
 
You can buy lifetime licenses for 1$ on other forums
 
Lifetime licenses for 1$ ??? That sounds too good to be true, how so ?
cracked account.

I have premium malwarebytes, I think it's worth it, especially if you really active on the internet like torrenting, surf NSFW site, etc.
But if you just surf normally on the website (with adblock on) then windows defender should be enough.

I use torrents my whole life and i never caught a virus, there almost no viruses on torrents

I think it depends on how people use it, sometimes they just download the file from untrusted source on the internet. :/
 
I am using avast free version for years now. however, I am also using virustotal to double check the files I dowbload

I wouldn't worry with that, I bought 1 year licence the first year after buying a new pc, 4 years later and I haven't had a problem with virus, and I download lots of stuff...
 
I just use windows defender and I have had no trouble, but then again I don't do risky things on the internet.
