Currently using BitDefender free.
Simple UI, no complicated menus, non pesky notifications.
What do you use and why do you recommend it?

Avira, I know /g/ shits on it, but it hasn't failed me yet
Please don't say fucking MSE or Windows Defender lol

>Using an "antivirus" program
If your "antivirus" did not alarm you about anything major it isn't a good choice to keep it installed. Look at Google's Project Zero's blogspot page. "Antivirus" software is so filled with holes and stupid shit that it makes the system much much less secure in general. Sometimes it even runs a fucking REST API AS SYSTEM so that any webpage can pwn you.

Never change /g/
Common Sense 2016
VirusTotal
Every month or so a manual scan with malwarebytes
>>55579560
lol you're an idiot senpai
>>55579523
This. Avast is good because they bought GMER and use it for anti-rootkit stuff. You can just use GMER and common sense.
>>55579456
GNU/Linux.
Use Windows with ClamAV+HAVP and Pfblocker anti-malware lists. Snort if necessary. Sophos UTM is nice for home use.
I've been using Norton Antivirus 2016 and it's one of the most highly rated anti-spyware programs available on the market.
>>55579523
So what do you recommend? Specially in a shared PC with normie users...
>>55579456
Join the Kaspersky master.
Or any other european AV, all good. Also Trend Micro is good for Android abd Avira for low system impact. Just look up on av-comperatives.
Malwarebyte

Read this report from Google: http://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2016/06/how-to-compromise-enterprise-endpoint.html?m=1
>Symantec is a popular vendor in the enterprise security market, their flagship product is Symantec Endpoint Protection. They sell various products using the same core engine in several markets, including a consumer version under the Norton brand.
>On Windows, this results in remote code execution as SYSTEM, and root on all other platforms.
>Symantec dropped the ball here. A quick look at the decomposer library shipped by Symantec showed that they were using code derived from open source libraries like libmspack and unrarsrc, but hadn’t updated them in at least 7 years.
>Dozens of public vulnerabilities in these libraries affected Symantec, some with public exploits. We sent Symantec some examples, and they verified they had fallen behind on releases.
>Because Symantec uses a filter driver to intercept all system I/O, just emailing a file to a victim or sending them a link to an exploit is enough to trigger it - the victim does not need to open the file or interact with it in anyway. Because no interaction is necessary to exploit it, this is a wormable vulnerability with potentially devastating consequences to Norton and Symantec customers.
>As well as the vulnerabilities we described in detail here, we also found a collection of other stack buffer overflows, memory corruption and more.

I don't know anymore. I've installed Ubuntu on all computers owned by my close family.
>>55579642
Trend Micro was also picked up by Google to check for vulnerabilities. They were TERRIBLE.
>>55579642
Forgor ClamAV for linux.
>>55579655
>I don't know anymore. I've installed Ubuntu on all computers owned by my close family.
Thing is that if I install Ubuntu on family PC's they will loose some software compatibility and Wine isn't 100% reliable.
Thanks for the info on the report btw

>Kaspersky
http://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2015/09/kaspersky-mo-unpackers-mo-problems.html
Quoting parts from it:
>Many of the reports I’ve filed are still unfixed, but Kaspersky has made enough progress that I can talk about some of the issues. One notable observation from this work was that some of the most critical vulnerabilities I’ve been submitting were simply too easy to exploit, and I’m happy to report that Kaspersky are rolling out some improved mitigations to resolve that.
>Some of the bugs Kaspersky has already resolved include vulnerabilities parsing everything from Android DEX files and Microsoft CHM documents to unpacking UPX and Yoda’s Protector. We’ve sent dozens of reports to Kaspersky to investigate, any of which could result in a complete compromise of any Kaspersky Antivirus user.
>Because antivirus products typically intercept filesystem and network traffic, simply visiting a website or receiving an email is sufficient for exploitation. It is not necessary to open or read the email, as the filesystem I/O from receiving the email is sufficient to trigger the exploitable condition.
>Security Software Considered Harmful?
>We have strong evidence that an active black market trade in antivirus exploits exists. Research shows that it’s an easily accessible attack surface that dramatically increases exposure to targeted attacks.
>Conclusion
>In future, we would like to see antivirus unpackers, emulators and parsers sandboxed, not run with SYSTEM privileges. The chromium sandbox is open source and used in multiple major products. Don’t wait for the network worm that targets your product, or for targeted attacks against your users, add sandboxing to your development roadmap today.
This is just not caring at all. There's a battle tested open source library doing what you need - you use it.
>>55579701
I used to think that way too. Turns out Mikrotik fixes wine-related issues in Winbox, so after only changing the font it works flawlessly now.
What software do they use? Maybe you could change just part of all the devices.
Norton

Which one ?
>>55579784
No. See >>55579655

Read the last quote.
Smart security. It finds a lot of viruses by itself all day so I don't think there are any better.

Nice move Google, thats the opposite of free.

Kaspersky is longer on the market. I hope ClamAv will make it.

Normie stuff.
iTunes, etc.
I also don't know if it will work out for me in the long run because I also use Vegas Pro, After Effects, etc

Could you be more specific than "Normie stuff"? All I can think of is a browser.
I also know no one who uses iTunes.

>>55580010
I really don't know what they use, they have two other laptops filled with botnet software and adware, I find myself cleaning it from time to time, I uninstall everything almost, I know iTunes is a must for them to transfer files from their spyPhones
>>55580066
Have you tried asking? If you can't figure it out while "cleaning" maybe get someone more tech-savvy?
>>55579456
Common Sense
Sandboxie if I don't trust something, or something that doesn't need to actually write anything to my system (Keygens etc. :^) or Virustotal scan if I think something is going to fuck shit up
>>55580141
I can manage. I just don't write down the name of the software and eventually forget...
GNU/Common Sense
>>55580014
>>55580466
for what purpose
experienced users are too smart to fuck anything up and normies are too dumb to fuck anything up
>>55579456
ClamAV booted from USB
anyone here interested in buying (nicely discounted) antivirus product keys? wholesaler here and I have access to a lot of them
>VIRUS!!11!
no I'm not giving you any download links pajeet, just the product key. also just seeing if there is any interest.
>>55580579
Sure i give you 1 "Thank you." for 2 prod keys.
Deal?
>>55580623
>taking free garbage
>>55579456
I have never once used Antivirus and I've never had an issue with viruses. I am of the opinion that they are a waste of money.

>symantec is incompetent
>all av software must be shit
I fucking love this board.
>>55580679
They didn't only test symantec.
>>55580701
Yes they did fucktard, Symantec made Norton.
>>55580759
What if I provide you with links to Project Zero testing other AVs, "fucktard"?

I use default firewall with malwarebytes and occasionally I run processexplorer
>>55579456
ESET 9, it came bundled with a bunch of other antivirus that i didnt like, Ccleaner Pro and Malwarebytes Premium in a torrent some /v/irgin posted in a waifu thread like 2 years ago.
>>55579456
Windows Defender, because it works perfectly well
mse plz
