[Help - Other] Anti - Virus

[ijramist]

What anti virus would you advice me to use ?
I need an anti virus which is secure and reliable, I got Microsoft Security Essentials at this moment, but I don't think it's helping me.
I hope you help me with that

Microsoft Essentials is as useless as Windows Firewall.
I personally don't use an anti-virus, why?

Because;
I know how to protect myself from malwares (obviously don't download files from not trusted sources).
Having an AV software just uses too much of your CPU/RAM/Network depending on the AV of course.
Most of the AV don't do anything but just run on your PC as a background program like Realtek HD Audio Drivers.

I can recommend you to uninstall all kind of AV's and just install Malwarebytes, you should be safe with it and it doesn't use much RAM moreover CPU/Network.

In a way I agree and disagree. You can't just tell someone not have an anti virus.

A lot of them now have a small foot print and run in the background with low memory usage. Nod32 is great for low resources and Bit Defender is rather hard core when it comes to viruses.

antivirus is for losers..............real men never use antivirus -. -

I only use Windows Defender / Premium Malwarebytes and do a weekly scan with both + adwcleaner because it doesn't do any harm to do it

So what anti - virus should I get ? lol
Confused >.<

I think Nod32 will suit your needs as it's not a resources hog.

Also get ADWCleaner as it wipes everything without a problem.

[Strain]

well, get a cracked nod32, its a fine ass av, and u can easily turn it off/on, gaming mode (no popups)

[Jestatic]

yes nod32 is good.

I dont use an antivirus but i recommend microsoft security essentials for realtime security, malwarebytes for your montly scanning and adwcleaner for adware removal. never pay for an antivirus unless you are a company because most of the time you won't need the extra functionality's.
