defender and the occasional run of MBAM if you're paranoid

anything else is intrusive, botnet, snakeoil (literally)

Malwarebytes is utter fucking shit, I can't believe it still gets recommended. The free one anyway, even Windows Defender catches more than it lel
>>
>>54321083
Innoculation tools - Spybot S&D, SpywareBlaster, uBlock Origin, Bitdefender USB immunizer
Protection tools - EMET, seriously not enough people use this thing
On demand Scanners - ClamWin, MBAM, Spybot S&D (again)
Real time scanners - None, they all suck, Windows Defender if you really want something placebo
>>
MBAM for monthly scans, Bitdefender if you must have real time protection
>>
>>54322121
Actually no, it doesn't. If you look up some benchmarks you'll find out.

If you want to get rid of malware, the first thing you should remove is Windows.

Microsoft is part of NSA's mass surveillance program "PRISM":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_(surveillance_program)

Microsoft informs the NSA about bugs before fixing them:
https://archive.is/OBGB1

Microsoft openly offeres cloud data to support PRISM:
https://archive.is/tW6fu

Microsoft has backdoored its disk encryption:
https://archive.is/2XIvX
https://archive.is/qLRZx

Windows snoops on the users' files, text input, voice input,
location, contacts, calendar records and web browsing history,
even after related settings are turned off:

Micrcrosoft automatically downloads Windows 10 on PCs running
Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 (between 3.5GB and 6GB), even if
users have not opted-in:

Windows 10 scans for illegal/pirated software:

Microsoft proudly presents surveillance statistics:

> Over 82 billion photos viewed.
> Gamers spent over 4 billion hours playing PC games.
> 44.5 billion minutes/month spent in Microsoft Edge.
> Over 2.5 billion questions asked of Cortana since launch.
> Windows 10 now active on over 200 million devices.

Windows defender is decent if you use W8 or W10.
This doesn't apply to W7 cucks.

i've used avast ever since it was version 4.7.
it's just now that it has turned into a bloated piece of shit.
i'm thinking of moving to eset.
>>
>>54322502
It's not that great but you can just innoculate then forget about it.

>tries to shitpost on AAA software to justify his free software with heartbleed and other shit major vulnerabilities.
>>
>>54322761
Do you have updates on? Last time I tried to use MSE it refused to update itself, apparently due to "problem" with windows update and I have no intention to turn updates back on anytime soon. I would honestly prefer it over comodo since it's lighter and less bloated I use AV for placebo pretty much anyway. Gives me ease of mind.

>>54322890
Go ahead and find a proprietary alternative to OpenSSL that anyone cares about you dumb cuck.
