What? type pf Antivirus

Pure Mint · Oct 2, 2015

Hey guys,
I was wondering what type of virus protection you use? And are there any special systems that you recommend to protect myself from hacking? Any tips. Thanks!

Avast + Malwarebytes

And when you are hopeless try Hitman Pro.

Same thing that i will recommend

FX44 · Oct 2, 2015

I have used WebRoot for years

I-marketer · Oct 2, 2015

Kaspersky is great. Will consider also Bitdefender in the future.

reliablecontent · Oct 2, 2015

I've used Kaspersky for years and I've been very happy with it.

Pure Mint · Oct 2, 2015

Thanks Guys! I'm gonna take a look into all of these!

Look into prevention methods, staying safe online and what not. That will put you far ahead of a user who just relies on an AV. Not that they are bad to have but the real goal is to have it and not need it.

Prevention > detection - basically.

LoftPower · Oct 2, 2015

I really and personally like AVAST. I have used it for a bit now and never had any issue with it.

Cad01 · Oct 2, 2015

Hi,
Right now i'm using Bitdefender Total Security and it's working great for me.
But the best way to be safe is to stay away from dubious sites and downloads.

Agree with this. I have seen many viruses stay undetected from the best AV programs.

Avast, malware bytes, tinywall and periodic analysis with process explorer combined with virus total also works well. And regular reloads just to be safe...

Free: Avast is pretty good. Paid: Eset, fast and very strong.

Hawkster · Oct 3, 2015

Comodo free version, and super anti spyware are my choice.

Shyren · Oct 3, 2015

Will recommend Kaspersky(paid) and 360(free)

Combined with safe browsing and download habits, I still stand by Windows Defender to this day. Seems that the recent versions on 8 and 10 also have anti malware. Now, if you're doing something that has high risk of infection, why not a virtual machine and/or VPNs/TOR?

Zwielicht · Oct 3, 2015

I used AVG Antivirus for 6 years along with Malwarebytes, but I recently stopped using both and use lame old Windows Defender on my primary computer. I don't really download much on this computer nor do I visit dubious websites, but I still use AVG and Malwarebytes on my laptop as that's where I do most of my downloading.

Currently using Avast Internet Security 2016 (2016.11.1.2241)
