Why do people use virus protection?
It just slows down your computer's performance. If you don't want viruses, just don't go on sketchy websites or download random things. If I want to look at porn, I just go on 4chan's nsfw boards. I gotten by just fine with just adblock . I had noscript, but I got annoyed by constantly having to allow javascript on certain websites I frequent.
My computer has never been compromised despite having no virus protection.

Your computer is full of keyloggers and spying software. People you don't know have access to your computer, right now. If you ever switch on a webcam, they can and will be watching you.
Just because your computer doesn't crash randomly and get destroyed, it doesn't mean you don't have a virus. The best ones are the sneaky, stealthy ones.

So I can get keylogger by just browsing Youtube, 4chan, twitter, tumblr, instagram, pinterest reddit, and gmail?
It's not like I click random links to websites I don't know.

>my computer has never been compromised
Kek, said every cuck whose pc I fixed. Reminds me of that one smug " hehe macs dont get viruses" macfag who got his bank account raped after shopping online.
Just because your computer doesn't act weird doesn't mean it isn't filled to the brim with keyloggers and shit. At minimum do a mbam scan every week and be sure to configure your firewall and that it is working properly.

You're a fucking idiot you don't have to download anything or or visit any sketchy websites you can get a virus from loading a bad ad, image, or compromised page. Common sense will not protect you virus creators are more malicious and rampant than ever you need anti virus as 2nd line of defense.

>If I want to look at porn, I just go on 4chan's nsfw boards
yeah.... 4chan likes to repost the same shitthe sameexact shit its been posting for years now
>>27417138
Yes you absolutely can you fucking idiot.
>>27417138
>tumblr
Viruses are the least of your worries. You may be a faggot
>>27417138
Unless your firewall is very unforgiving, your ports are constantly scanned my friend. And unless you're a paranoid /g/entooman who blocks all javascript-
>I had noscript, but I got annoyed by constantly having to allow javascript on certain websites I frequent.
Yeah you're as clean as a party slut.
>don't use a virus protection for over 3 years now
>run spybot and mse once in a while
>unistall after
>literally never had a single bad file
If you aren't retarded as fuck, it's impossible to get a virus. I don't even know where I could get one, even if I wanted to.
>>27417152
>>27417169
but I use adblock and never whitelist any website. Haven't seen an ad in a long time.
I havent used any virus protection since windows 7 was released. Firewall is enough. Ive gotten a virus only like 3 times and had to remove them manually. Only an idiot would think they need some extra protection and only an idiot would download a scetchy file from the internet.
shoudn't this be on /g/?

Anything goes here.
My av program takes like what, 80k memory at most and unless im not scanning, which i never do; like 0.05 % of my processor.
How about you delete skype instead and never log on, noone likes an anime posting autist
>>27417283
I guarantee you that your machine is filled with malware.

Doesnt matter if they arent actually doing anything
>>27417101
jokes on you i use my own key-logger and ransomware, if you're gonna get infected by a virus it might as well be your own
>>27417398
lol, no
not this guy but the same here
no sketchy files, processes or startup entries
occasional check (every 6 months) with antivirus never showed up anything
face it, if you manage to get a virus, you're retarded and don't know shit about computers
>>27417065
I also dont get it senpai.
If you are on windows 10 you have security essentials anyway.
That is all you will ever need unless you are trying really hard.
And even if you dont have that you needed to be pretty stupid to catch a virus.

Microsoft Security Essentials is getting supported again? Thought it wasn't viable to use anymore.

Do you guys know any good keyloggers?
I would like to see how one works on my own computer of course!
>>27418337
Do you really need to get into her facebook account that badly, anon?
i use freebsd and there is barely software anyways so i dont have to worry about viruses
>>27418337
whose facebook account?
I actually like programs like those
and i would like to see if anyone is doing sneaky shit on my computer or looking through my things
you're retarded for making assumptions like that
BUT those assumptions are understandable for people on a board like this one
>>27417065
Nice try virus shill.
Just run noscript on the browser and throw a glance at starting and background services and programs every few months.
>>27417294
Everyone on g already knows that not using antivirus is retarded.
If you don't want malicious crap on your pc use linux and update it regulary.
If you use windows then ublock+noscript+malwarebytes is all you need+also update windows erryday
>>27418906
>update windows erryday
Fuck that

No, everyone on /g/ knows using antivirus is retarded because you only need it if you're stupid enough to use a proprietary OS. Learn to linux already dumbass.
bump;, /g/ pls

It means you're using Common Sense (TM) 2016

This guy is retarded dont listen to him
>>27417065
No, you shouldnt use a virusscanner anymore. They are archaic, and don't actually add anything but bloat.
Besides, if you are actually stupid enough to open stuff like "myvideosexe.vid" or "Justin-Bieber.mp3.exe" no amount of virusscanners will help you.
-t Someone who hasn't used an AV since 2006 and 0 viruses so far.
As long as you aren't one of those retards who turns off updates.
Because even "non-sketchy" websites serve malware.

Noscript + adblock + not going to weird sites + not looking at porn + never using your credit card or social security = don't need virus protection
Prevention is the best protection
The viruses I mostly get are browser add-ons .
>>27417101
but if that were true then they would have access to my reddit account
>>27422223
one off familia, just end it
