Common Sense 2016: Reddit Edition.

No.

>>52420876
I recommend this too

>>52420876
This is the best one available.

Common Sense is good

If you really want extra software, get MBAM and Adwcleaner and run scans every now and then. Also Ublock Origin (or uMatrix but that's for more advanced users), because ads can give you malware too.

You don't really need an antivirus unless you regularly visit shady porn sites and stuff like that

I use Avast, the autism about the advertisement of their other services is way overblown, I see maybe one a week and only an autist has a problem clicking it away in exchange for a well made clean product.

So something that is broken?

Reddit is more stable than this Moroccan mud sculpture viewing galley. This is likely because it's based on free and open source software.

Bitdefender Free if you're poor, register it with fake email, never bothers you, never asks to buy.

If you're not poor, get Bitdefender Internet Security, Kaspersky Internet Securiy or Webroot.

I use Common Sense, but Kaspersky has still warned me a few times about a few things.

Also bear in mind a lot of financial institutions give you free-antivirus if you have products with them.

uBlock Origin + Brain, MBAM for scanning sketchy files that I don't trust, also for scanning every month or so.

Better get off 4chan then and enjoy your broken web.

>he thinks I don't have my browser locked down tight
I bet you use something based on Firefox or Chromium

Flash is irrelevant

Incorrect.

What the hell, I use Avast and see one once a year or whatever when it bitches at me to buy a license or continue with the free version.

I don't think you understand how modern AVs and HIPS work goy.

Ublock origin + Malwarebytes + Common Sense 2016

(Pref not windows 10 too, use 7 or at least 8.1)

Incorrect.

The current web is broken, you're correct.

Your half-measures only hinder your productivity.
W8.1 with update centre, BITS, firewall services disabled, using the built-in admin account. Zero threats since 2010(according to occasional MWB scans).
>>
>>52425483
AVs are useless for 0days same rules for infected bins that gets updates everyday to become 100% FUD again.
If you don't monitor you don't know what is going on, trusting an AV that you don't have shit is retarded

You should do what I do, I am currently posting from a ultra-secure intergalatic encrypted onion-routed decentralized warpgate which sandboxes all packets on another dimensional plane and analyzes its behavior to 2^(2^4096)-1 different exploit behaviors.

Or maybe you could use common sense and linux you dumb nigger.
