There is literally nothing wrong with installing Avira on your computer as a fallback when you inevitably do something stupid.
>>
>>55552328

Correct.

This wasn't worth a thread, though.

>>55552328
>Avira
Common Sense + Windows Defender + Malwarebytes is all you need senpai.

>inb4 botnet

What about bitdefender? Is avira better?
>>
Advanced system care is better

>>55552328
>he doesn't use 360 Total Security that is free, more lightweight but uses both bitdefender and avira engines
It's like you want to get a cryptowairus
>>
Clam tk/win is the best even better than malwarebytes!
>>55552363
chink botnet. I'm really paranoid about that program, what is the company behind it, did they had any products? It seems like a Clean Master for pc

>>55552328
i still windows defender, havent had a virus in over 5 years. the only thing it's ever done is quarantine my windows activator....

all you gotta do is avoid running suspicious exe's

There is nothing wrong with being stupid.

>Windows Defender

I literally ran this for awhile with MBAM and it didnt stop my computer from getting infected with a proxy changing virus.

Had to change my passwords for all my accounts.

Yeah, it's great if you like adware. Can't log into my desktop without a little banner ad popping up on my toolbar telling me "Hey retard we know you have an anti-virus installed but did you know there's a big scary new virus out there stealing people's organs?".
>>
>>55552413
It happens to me once every 3-4 days.
Btw you can disable it from the web control panel if you register as a free user.

I don't know if you're retarded or something but you aren't using Common Sense if you use a fucking antivirus aside of it.

>>55552328
The Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display doesn't have this problem.

>>55552499
Yeah it works on my machine

I hope you disable the real-time protection feature (for lightness' sake) and only run scheduled scans. If not, you might as well install a decent antivirus.

My thoughts too.

I have all that except the host file things and I still run an AV with MBAM and Windows Defender

I seriously fell for the Common Sense /no AV meme for a long time but last week I scanned my computer with Avira free version it found bots in my computer. I don't even know where I got them.

Don't fall for it /g/ stupid meme. In your head you think your computer is clean, but unless you are using Windows, you'll never be sure because you think you didnt go to shady sites etc.

its not a meme if you are not retarded.

Just do everything in >>55553841 + disable Flash and Java and don't go on shitty sites or download obvious malware.
>>
>>55554305
Or you could just you know, install an AV so that something can catch you when something goes wrong. You are your own "human" factor and you can make mistakes you didn't even realize.
>>
>>55554333
AV is literally snake oil for people too retarded to use computers.
Also many AVs are vulnerable themselves and weaken the security of the system.

Also they can only protect against known viruses.

>You are your own "human" factor and you can make mistakes you didn't even realize.
The only mistake is installing AV software.
