common sense + virus total.

This unironically

win 7

its really not unless common sense is linux
do you never install cracked programs and games?
use porn sites?
are you fucking dealing with no script and having 40% of sites not working?

Like?

whatever you do never trust kaspersky. my local military department had to purge their pc from kaspersky because it was phoning home in russia

>Linux (the operating system) can't get viruses
Point and laugh, everyone.

>I am building strawman cuz I know I done fuck up

Unironically norton.

umatrix and ubo with a whitelist. Allow absolute minimum (dont need videos to work, maybe thumbnails) and save settings once. Stream with mpv. Its not hard and in the end its a better experience all around.

>installed KMSpico (windows/office activator)
>Norton removes it
>give it to exception
>norton removes it
>tried for 2 hours finding a way for norton to not remove the activator

I am sorry, if they take control from you can as well hand over your pc and just use some terminal and ask for permissions

Seconding Eset.

I've also heard good things about bitdefender though they look like a scam site to me desu.

I pay for malwarebytes active protection because they are nice
shit thread by the way

>>do you never install cracked programs and games?

fucking strange, like teenage girl, probably only shitposting online

common sense is something most people cant do
and even you are exposed still you dumb fuck

I use the Microsoft Windows 10, best ant virus software is the Windows Defender. Yes, it is very good.

Thanks for the you, but you're only quoting yourself.
Unironically feel bad for you.

>its really not unless common sense is linux
Used Windows most of my life. Never got a virus.
>do you never install cracked programs and games?
>use porn sites?
Not when I was using Windows
>are you fucking dealing with no script and having 40% of sites not working?
No need. I don't use sketchy websites.

the fact you can't use the same license on all your devices is a shit decision. I won't pay $59 just for that

>>No need. I don't use sketchy websites.
you're on Jow Forums, hope you enjoy mining bitcoins for hiro

>fucking strange, like teenage girl, probably only shitposting online
I'm not a manchild and have no need for cracked programs by someone I don't know or trust.

>and even you are exposed still you dumb fuck
My hardware firewall does the rest.

LMAO. Find the miner then. Regardless, I use clover so he cannot mine on my hardware anyway.

Why is nod32 cheaper than premium security?
What's the difference?

Visiting torrenting sites. Even will no-script on, my anti virus still catches when the proxy sites I visit try to run coin miners. And sometimes you want to scan a package before you open it.

Are you not using ublock origin? And if you are you're not using it right.

thank fuck I only have a single windows installation where having an extra layer of protection is a requirement, somehow it detected and quarantined adware in visual studio, thanks I guess
agreed though, dickish move

You heard wrong. It's swamped with false positives and has no options whatsoever beyond on or off unless you give them shekels. Instant uninstall.

I'm a lazy fuck who can't get back into private tracker autism

You should use the cloud free version instead it lets you change all settings unlike the regular version

>1. best way is having iOS or Linux
You're half correct, but you imply the systems are better then windows, rather it should be
>The best way is using an obscure OS
Less people that use your particular system the less likely someone is going to write a virus for it, which is why in high level shit people write their own code, not because it's better, but because it's obscure and someone is going to have to attack you by making their own code.

most hackers who want cash are going to go for the largest market player rather then obscure shit for obvious reasons, unless it's personal.

avast is bloatware

Best antivirus is not using computers.
Build yourself a shack in the woods and live the rest of your life there.

ltsc doesn't have this problem

no but it has other

Antivirus are botnet, avoid

ganoo plus loonigs and not running random binaries from shady websites/using an outdated browser with no ad blocker

huh didn't even notice and I usually pay attention to them

I'll give it a look
Thanks

but you have another problem

>when the proxy sites I visit try to run coin miners
Why would you even care about that, though? If they want to use 100% CPU for the few seconds you browse for the right torrent, who cares?

I mean, it's not like that's really any different from any other JavaShit-ridden modern framework website. With the exception that the coinminer is actually well-written and -optimized, and actually does its job well, I guess.

lol

Not him but you're assuming he'll only look for his torrent for a few seconds (only happens if you knw exactly what to get and that you'll find it right away) and that the miner will stop mining once the tab is closed, which isn't guaranteed.
I'd rather not run any such software ever, just in case.

He's trolling or one of the douches that runs a malware ridden site.

>avast
cant run a executable even after I added it to exception
fucking garbage

>only happens if you knw exactly what to get and that you'll find it right away
Even if you don't and it takes ten minutes or whatever, "who cares" still applies.
>and that the miner will stop mining once the tab is closed, which isn't guaranteed
Yes it is, unless you're running a browser with serious bugs.

>malware ridden site
There's a pretty big difference between malware and coin miners in that the latter does do damage whatsoever. Sure, it's not like it's all okay and that every site should do that, but it's not like you suffer any damage from a brief visit to one that does.

Avast is spyware now. They sell your data and they're so shameless, they don't even bother to hide it. They straight up tell you in their EULA.

>Used Windows most of my life. Never got a virus.
you just don't know

kaspersky.

Linux without SystemD is the best antivirus.

I'm not that old. 21. Only switched to Linux in highschool. I was more botnet and virus paranoid then than I am now. As a result, no virus. Still have my original computer even though I don't use it anymore. It's clean.

It's resource abuse

Who the fuck spends more than 2 minutes looking for a torrent? You scroll through the page, if you don't find anything that looks good you try again in another site.

>using anything but Bitdefender or Kaspersky
Cringe and bluepilled.

bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/cryptojacking-script-continues-to-operate-after-users-close-their-browser/

You do know that malware doesn't always need a browser to propogate? Exploits exist.

That doesn't change anything I said, it just gives it a different name.

Defender is insanely resource hungry

So I assume jQuery and Bootstrap URLs are to be found first thing under that heading?

>What's the best antivirus and why is it avast?
Nope.

So what? In the best case, all that does is dilute the term "malware" into uselessness. It doesn't damage your system in any way whatsoever.

Stop making your own definition

>intentionally harmful
That's exactly my point though. It doesn't actually cause harm, at least not in any way that isn't easily controllable.

There isn't any qualitative difference whatsoever between a coinminer and showing ads.
