No, because the odds of catching malware on Linux or OSX are next to zero. They are zero if you're not retarded.
>>
>>53254570
I was going to comment on the new Bugs as well.

Yeah, there are new Looney Tunes on Boomerang. They manage to get good slapstick on there, but nothing can retain the charm of the old ones and no one is a good substitute for Mel Blanc.

this. Even if you're on windows, you'll be fine as long as you don't click on sketchy shit, and have basic blocking utilities in place.

Even on Wangblows, common sense is ten times more effective than shitty resource-hogging cringeware written by the kikes who wrote the malware in the first place.

Linux comes pre-installed with Common Sense 2016.

I use Norton 365. The guy at Office Depot told me it was the best stuff out there. He def knew what he was talking about cause he fixed a bunch of stuff on my Dell too.

Nigger I spent 3 hours trying to get Webroot off a customers Win8.1 machine last week. Wouldn't uninstall, safe mode didnt help, uninstaller tool didnt help. No guides or help articles worked, shit is deceivingly hard to remove and do anything but pay money/change settings.

Fuck webroot they've lost my business.

>>53254625
The good looney toons were the ones with big lipped nigger characters and black crows. Back before DATZ RACIST.

>>53254659
>tiny toons
the gayest shit I ever laid eyes on.

I MBAM on my windows machine every once in a while. That's about it.
>>
>>53254942
It took me forever to get it off a clients mac once. I had to annihilate everything that had anything to do with it and it, which wouldn't have been so difficult if they listed where the files install to instead of 'contact webroot support' on their shit forum.

Avast Internet Security, it ends this year.
>>
>>53255044
Yep same here. I think the revo uninstaller finally killed it enough to where it didn't run on startup and we had to go in and manually remove as much as we could find. Literally unbelievable that this software can be that difficult. Their sales tactic must be "you cant install it so just give up and buy another year".

Textbook definition of malware.

Enjoy your rooted and botnetted machines, CS2016 users. Cybersec is a different world now.
>>
No.

It's been 4 years since I've had more antivirus than is built into the OS.
