There's literally nothing wrong with having an anti-virus software. Do you honestly want to leave your system defenceless while programs like malwarebytes and avg exist?
>>
Install Gentoo
>>

Yes, because I'm not an idiot. They slow down my computer and I'm careful enough not to install shit I'm not sure of. Sure, I'll scan new programs, but for the vast majority of my time, it's useless.
>>
I haven't had anti virus software since 1999 and I've had zero viruses nigger
>>
I've been defenseless since 2005 because I don't download and run random files I find on the internet, and I actually read through the installation windows so I don't install adware.

Well, there's that, and the fact that I am not an important enough person to be worth hacking into. You'll only find a bunch of 4chan images and porn scattered here and there if you hack me.
>>
>>51989274
Never had an antivirus and also never had a computer virus or any form of malware in my life.
>>
>>51989274
Doesnt avg spy on you and sell your data to third parties?
>>
>not using virtual box to test a program

Fucking casuals. What's happened to my /g/?
>>
>>51989341
I don't care if you don't use AV because I agree that it's, for the most part, a steaming heap of shit.

Still,
>I don't download and run random files
You don't need to try if you're somehow hit an exploit before your web browser of choice has issued an update to patch it.

>I am not an important enough person to be worth hacking into
An attacker may not give a shit about stealing your porn stash or gmail passwords, but they will be plenty happy to use your computer as a proxy to download CP. There's a reason botnets exist, and it's *not* simply to search compromised computers for data.
>>
>>51989405
If people are talking about AV at all, they're probably windows users so they're used to whoring out information so that other companies can make money.
>>
ad block is the only actual anti virus due to browsers being unsecured junk

everything else is just retards running shit they shouldn't be running
>>
>nothing wrong with having anti-virus software

Endless popups and taskbar notifications. Into the garbage it goes, I'll take my chances.
>>
>>51989467
malware that is actually important will be able to detect a virtual machine and will then not do anything
>>
>>51989274
wtf is going on in this picture and where is there a lightbulb sitting beside some fuckhuge capacitors?
>>
Taking apart a power supply is a good way to get yourself killed.
>>
>>51989274
1. malwarebytes is an antimalware solution, not an antivirus solution. you uneducated pleb.
2. a number of antivirus solutions are for a lack of a better term complete ass. this is due to them making your system more vulnerable than they do to secure them. see avast, avira, bitdefender, norton, and panda.

>and I've had zero viruses nigger

How would you know?
>>
>>51989274
Thats one weird looking chick
>>
>>51992246
Get the fuck out of here you fucking casual
>>
>>51992291
Can I have your Snapchat?
>>
>>51989274
After seeing that picture a dozen times and laughing, I just realized there's a random incandescent bulb just laying in there, and so I'm laughing all over again.
