Wait. Do you have protection?

Antivirus

What antivirus are you running on your computer/laptop?
Is there any particular reason you picked that piece of software?
Are there any antivirus programs you make sure you stay away from?


bet you thought something else didn't you?

 

[Buttered Coat]

I don't even know if I have one. If anything pops up on my screen I close it without reading it XD

 

[quilzel]

I use MSE, Its free, and its actually pretty good. I use Malwarebytes on the side and scan once in a while. I also use Malwarebytes to remove viruses on other people's computers. It is really good at removing Malware, including viruses.

I use the free version of Avast. It works well enough for me. ^__^ I have never actually paid for antivirus. >__>

 

[Kikaito plush]

I have something called AVG you might of heard of it

 

[Bloo]

that title lol

I've always used either Microsoft Security Essentials or an anti-virus program called ESET, but Microsoft Security Essentials is free from Microsoft and gets the job done. There's really no reason not to use it, because it's great. There actually isn't really much of a need for some anti-viruses anymore since Microsoft came out with Windows Vista and MSE is free.

I use Mcafee. I don't have my own computer yet, so it's my parent's decision what the current AV is.

I use COMODO Internet Security, I've never heard of a virus.

 

[Gerri Shin]

I use Intego because it scans for all forms of viri, no matter which platform it's programmed for. I mainly use it so I don't accidentally pass on a virus to another computer that might not have as much protection.

I use Microsoft Security Essentials and Common Sense 2011. Pretty darn resource efficient.

So you use MSE and a fake antivirus? :paranoid: Huh, doesn't sound resource efficient at all. :P

 

[donavannj]

I use MSE, but I might change that when Windows 8 comes out since it will be drastically more targeted because it's built into Windows 8, though switching may depend on how frequently Microsoft decides to update it.

Common Sense 2011 is another way of saying I don't do dumb things that are likely to result in getting a virus.

>.> please tell me you noticed the obvious sarcasm on my first post.

Well, I'm currently using Avast for all of the computers I'm using. Previously I was using AVG but I found that it was never reliable. D: Avast hasn't failed on me since. It's nicer, accurate and less annoying than Norton, tbh.

Ha, I actually searched up Common Sense 2011 before I realized what you actually meant.

@_@ Misleading title.
I don't think I've downloaded any antivirus software xD; Actually Idk I think my sister downloaded it for me or something :/ lol.

 

[Kroso]

Avg and MSE,God gotta love free programs,they may not be pro or anything but they sure get the job done.

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

AVG 2011 Free Edition. It's usually good at not hogging system memory, but sometimes I have to go in to the control panel and tweak the settings. I had Norton and MSE before, and both would slow my computer to a crawl whenever they needed to download updates, so I stopped using them.

Actually, I didn't choose it this time - AVG happened to already come on this computer... since it hasn't been too problematic, I've just kept using it.

You can't do sarcasm on the internet without making it obvious. Half of sarcasm is inflection.
