[X]

What do you all use? My new computer just finished it's faux norton protection...wants me to re-up...lmao...

What antivirus can I use that's free and actually works?

Thankszs are to be given.

No porn? The Staples has Norton on sale for $30 and can be used on 3 computers. Or else they have Mcafee for free.

avast! Free Antivirus - Download Software for Virus Protection

Free and works well

I use AVG + malwarebytes. That combo seems pretty decent.

 

[Shawon0Meter]

AVG has worked really well for me

+1 on avast

AVG is flaky, and the definition team falls way behind at times.

My tech guy uses avast for some of his corporate clients...better than Norton etc imho. I keep expecting a bill for this free service, but it never comes.

I don't even run an anti-virus or anti-spyware, and I haven't for well over a decade. But avast is good. Malwarebytes is good too.

X what kind of computer do u have?

 

[Dan0mite]

I use AVG, Adware and Spybot Search and Destroy. All are free and work well. I had Avast but it started to make my computer freeze and crash.

Then how do you keep your computer from getting viruses?

Get Avast and Malwarebytes, that's what I use.

Avast and malwarebytes here also.

I used McAfee for the longest time, but switched to AVG this year and couldn't be happier. Downloaded the free trial then scrounged the internet for a product key. I'm good until 2018.
:yeah:

AVG and Malwarebytes for me as well. Nothing but good things to say about both. Can't believe they're free.

Get a Mac.

Maybe that's why he's offline..got hit by a hacker.

I've never met an unprotected computer that did not eventually give the user the dreaded blue screen etc.

Hello, I'm Michael. Nice to meet you. Haven't had either forever. I'm in the it business and know what to open/visit and what not to

Apple FTW.

Apple FTW.

Totally agree. Safe from almost all virus threats. However if you want to actually use your system, avoid Macs with a passion
