Lib3l Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 If you aren't downloading dodgy shit I'd honestly just keep with windows defender. All the others will eventually annoy you about its "bonus features".Windows defender is clean and simple, probs not as good but lightweight and I never gotta worry about. Common sense best anti virus and all that. Chilled Soda and Acies 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberny Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 +1 on Windows Defender for the same reasons as already listed by Lib3l SpotlightR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.e Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Windows Defender is enough if you know what you download/install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happysedits Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I use Avast since 2011 and I'm happy with it. Is there a difference between Windows Defender and Avast? Lynx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hk_Sh Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I don't use any stuff... So I guess it's windows defender here. Just be cautious about everything you download and everything will be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeahImAndrew Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I've been using avast for a while and it's been quite solid for me. I would say either avast or windows defender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyfly Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I don't use any Antivirus, because they are crap and just waste your resources. A secure system doesn't needs such crap. #linux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Not necessary on my MacOS devices. However on my PC I sometimes download games, movies etc from third party sites so aside from Windows Defender I've also installed AVG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I don't use any Antivirus, because they are crap and just waste your resources. A secure system doesn't needs such crap. #linux Have fun browsing the internet or having some other asshat on your network doing something stupid. You don't need an always on antivirus, but you should still do occasional scans. And As @Twins_mercury said....That's not how Linux works. Not necessary on my MacOS devices. However on my PC I sometimes download games, movies etc from third party sites so aside from Windows Defender I've also installed AVG. So not true. MacOS is just as susceptible to viruses as any Windows PC. phenompak and Happysedits 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDeepDarkmind Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Malware bytes Advanced system care legit top 2 fucking antivirus and you don't notice this but yeah every antivirus is free so doesn't really matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Malware bytes Advanced system care legit top 2 fucking antivirus and you don't notice this but yeah every antivirus is free so doesn't really matter Malwarebytes is antimalware, not antivirus (although it is also good to use in conjunction with an antivirus program) and Advanced Systemcare is basically a bloated version of BitDefender.

Erik Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 So not true. MacOS is just as susceptible to viruses as any Windows PC. I've never received a malware/virus etc on my MacBook when downloading stuff and yet I always find viruses in my files on my PC. I'm not claiming that MacOS is 100% safe but it's gives me a safer feeling, safe enough that I don't even feel like downloading a virusscanner and so far it shows that it isn't necessary either.

That's just luck or you download different things. Macs are plenty susceptible to viruses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrW Zest Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Been using Avast for like 6 - 7 years and they often give me free 20 day trials of their paid version. Im happy with it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
