best anti virus ?
 

what's the best anti-virus software out there now that's lite and runs efficiently in the background

I've read that Webroot WRSA is real good

prEP, Zovirax, Ivermectin.
Stay healthy my friend

Can I ask a genuine question? What are you doing that makes you feel you need an antivirus?

I was used to a mac environment for many years, where I didnt give viruses a second thought. Then in 2019 I got my windows PC and simply used the one that was already built in with win 10

In those last 3 and a bit years, I've only ever had one virus alert, and that was from an old hard drive that I still had from years ago, which I plugged in to see what was on it...

I pretty much visit whatever sites I like and never give it a second thought. So, like I said, genuine question: What are you doing that makes you feel you need an antivirus, over and above the one that is already 'baked into' Windows??

I've been using Bitdefender. There are some sketchy sites in porn that have some bad links I've managed to avoid.

nod eset

kaperski is good and you can get keys for it on ebay for $5-$10 a year per computer

You won't even know that you have a trojan stealing your info or backdooring you if your anti virus is not good enough to detect it. Windows defender probably isn't good enough


btw - CurrentlySober has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space.

Using ESET for many years now

not cheap but very GUD

Be careful of emailed keys you buy on eBay. A lot of them don't come from authorized resellers, and there's a fairly large chance they'll be deactivated.

I guess I have had a lot of requests for photos of my daily morning dump again... Poo is poopular... What can I do?

Anyhoo - I've 'evacuated' my messygess :thumbsup

Same for me and have used it for years - love it.

macos, or (if you really know what you are doing) some linux distribution

"the best" is a huge description. All of them works fine i guess. Now you consider the price of course.

A complicated question, each antivirus has its own advantages and disadvantages, but they work about the same

I take back my recommendation for Bitdefender. I wish I had known about eset before. BitDefender spams me constantly to upgrade this or add that. I'm switching to Eset as soon as my subscription to BD is over.
