Anti Virus software

[Uros]

Comodo Internet Security. Free and great. Also, in conjunction with common sense ofc.

Avira + CCleaner + free auslgogics software + Malwarebyte's = never had a problem in many many years caused by a virus.

I use Malwarebytes with Kaspersky Internet Security together, great combo IMO

No Anti-virus software? Man, quitting porn is not an option.

Me use Avira.

I used ESET and Malwarebytes for a while but they let a bunch of shit in.

Now, I've paid for the full Avast and it's been absolutely top notch. Terminates everything before it can even connect and infect.

If you do get a problem, it's good to use online scanners like BitDefender in conjunction with AdAware and Spybot.

I do this exact thing
It's the way to roll.

Get F-Secure Internet Security.
F-Secure uses Kaspersky, Hydra, DeepGuard 2.0 and Blacklight to keep your computer clean(So you basically get 5 antivirus / antiadware-programs in one.).
And it may sound like it hogs alot of CPU, but actually, it doesnt, because it kicks the needed "engines" in when it finds a threat.
It also keeps your computer clean from spyware, and can detect if someone is hacking you.

I do IT for a university, and we used to use F-Secure. That program DOES suck a LOT of PC power, uninstalling it makes the computer run MUCH MUCH faster.

I don't use any antivirus software on my computers. Never got a virus. Every month or so, I'll run Malwarebytes Antimalware just to make sure.

Like I said in my post above, I did full scans with Malwarebytes, AVG, Symantec Online, Spyware S&D, NOD32, and I think I used a demo of Avast or Norton... one after the other and they all came back clean. That ended up not being the case at all.

Just sayin'

Microsoft Security Essentials gets my vote. Free and works great. Also keep a copy of Malware Bytes for an additional level of scanning.
