Best:
common sense (TM)
Malwarebytes
Windows defender

shit:
avast
norton
mcafee
avg
???

Gentoo is the best. Windows is the worst.

GNU GPL version 3 or later.

linux

What's the deal with the Malwarebytes? Lots of people seem to recommend. Why is it better than the other freeware shit?

Malwarebytes is solid as fuck.
I've had no problems with it.
It catches pretty much everything.
Updates before every scan.

Best: OpenBSD with emacs

Keep a backup of your clean os and plan to get hit at any time.

Okay Super Satan.

I second this, Malwarebytes rules

Does it really only actively protect you if you pay for premium for or is it just trying to scare you?

"a license must be purchased if the user wishes to take advantage of its scheduled scanning and real time protection features"

If you're stupid as fuck and need something like it,
the cost is worth it.
But you shouldn't have to worry about that if you scan every once in a while.

Use sandboxie and browse in a sandbox

>inb4 it's possible for shit to get out

Always loved the idea of starting up a computer inside a computer just to torture it by installing all the viruses possible. What do you recommend?

Windows VM inside Qemu on distro of your choice.

I wouldn't rec common sense for the average people because I know it wouldn't work for them. If it's for your normie friends and family, ESET is probably the best. Most consumer AVs are shit, the good ones are usually for business.

even if shit can't get out, they can see what's outside

jesus christ just look at the replies
is this advertising?

There's no CIA NIGGERS in TempleOS, just use TempleOS.

If you use anything other than Common Sense then you don't belong on this board

Why would you give a shit what it sees on your system if you don't let it connect outbound?.

installing gentoo, never heard of a gentoo install with a virus

None. You can trick them all using assembly

htop

gnu/linux

How would you know? System d is an unaudited backdoor created by the alphabets

So just don't use systemd.

uh BILL.
-sup.

-understood. activate the vPro backdoor, NOW

How true is it that anti-virus programmers also program viruses?

You need to learn how to do something in order to prevent it.

100%

I meant for malicious uses so people buy their shit

>▶
idiots who actually think they need AV software

Completely. Partly to explore ways in which viruses work on operating systems and detect the syscalls and patterns they make, and partly to fuck over competitor products.
But really AV is for non-targeted attacks. It works great against anything that's in the wild already.

It works mostly on stupid people.What I'd like is a light AV where you could just quickly check a suspicious file rather than having it check your entire system. Or if you suspect infection or whatever.

you're not getting my back up data Big Brother

Say what you want but avast has blocked at least 4 threats through ublock origin browsing with Firefox.

I can see a use and I'm not an idiot.

what the best free AV?

>Antivirus
>2018

Do you need a firewall too?
