Very popular amon the normal cucks
regular scans with mbam is all you need. i'd say use windows defender as well, but it has too many false positives

I had a friend of the family call me to wipe his pc because he got a virus. We ended up calling the ISP because the internet was being slow, and i told the lady on the line that he fell for a scam clickbait thing and got a virus, and she actually asked me "Do you have an antivirus installed?"
>>53984273
That's what a virus would say.
>>53984502
And what do you recommend?
Not using an anti-virus when connected to the internet is like slurping on a dildo that's just been in the hairy ass of a gay man with AIDS.

Ok cucks.

uBlock Origin and MBAM for scanning sketchy files.
>>53984564
>being this asshurt you are too dumb to use a pc properly
oh lawd
>>53984542
umatrix + ublock origin to prevent javascript drive-by's
dan pollock's hosts file
mbam for regular system scans
virustotal.com for scanning random .exe files
and most importantly a brain, so you don't click on stupid shit
>>53984643

Is Malwarebytes worth buying or should I stick with the free version?
>>53984866
buy it unless you want virus and botnet on your pc... ;)
>MBAM
>instead of Spybot - S&D
/g/, the """"""tech"""""" board
JUST
>>53984866
if you absolutely need real time protection, it's worth looking into, but free is fine as well, as long as you do regular manual scans and don't download junk.
>>53984643
Also uninstall flash
>>53984895
Spybot is shit outside of it's immunize function.
>>53984237
I stopped using Avast when they turned to these shilling tactics.
using pirated nod32, which seems to be good.
>>53984564
Explain. How is if dangerous?
>>53984885
>>53984898
Thanks
When I used Avast, that popup would appear always when I was lurking porn or hentai websites. So I presume the main company watching me is Avast themselves.

Browser exploits/exploits in Software. Every now and then you hear of advertisement servers being compromised and serving malware. Sure, adblockers help, but if a site you trust got compromised, no plugin can save you.
There are lots of ways you can get malware despite not falling for obvious scam.

Why didn't this meme die in 2010?
>>53985962
So do you have an antivirus recommendation? I just need a general safety net for a family computer just in case the kids click on something retarded. Is Bitdefender alright?
>>53984237
So what if it does "spy" on you, it does so to protect you from malicious spies that would do harm. Same reason why I use Yandex because I would rather be spied on by Russia than to use Chrome and be spied on by NSA.
>>53984237
You use AVAST. Complete discredited.
>>53986168
Avast, ESET & Emsisoft are the kings.
Ignore shill /paid tests like AV-C that try to say otherwise.

Are people really this stupid?
>>53986561
Many AV programs install a certificate so they can inspect your https traffic
AVG sells your data
Avira has popup ads (every now and the you find a window open in bg with an ad)
Avast does many nasty things too, I forgot exactly what, besides being pure bloatware.

just install leenux then, and pretend that your Os breaking down is a sign that it's superior.
>>53986106
Because not everyone is retarded like you.
>>53986847
Fairly bloated afaik, but otherwisem detection-rate -wise seems ok. I don't know if it has any popups or anything like that. Their last versions are highly clous tied though. They require (free) registration. I think ther last version does not work at all offline.

>>53984273
Ignoring the "hurr, use common sense" reply, what's good to use as an antivirus just as a safety net? Sure, we may know what to avoid, but if you're working with a family computer, some kid or grandma may click on something retarded.

Okay, I'll use this analogy. My uncle is going to ride an AIDS ridden cock whether I like it or not. Can anyone recommend a good (metaphorical) condom?
>>53984895
Spybot had it's time, but it's core engine is damn near abandoned and hasn't been reliable for at least 5 years.
Windows defender should be enough for anyone mildly paranoid
