What antivirus does Jow Forums use?
common sense
I don't use Windows.
Nod32.
>using antivirus
I'm using anti-executable instead
fpbp
Does that inlcude gentoo, blocking scripts by default in your browser and a hardware firewall with unbound?
woah nearly deleted my sys32 right there
Yes.
Windows Defender
linux
My windows 7 has mse if that actually counts, not that it really effects the performance of my system it being there vs other similar things. I also have stuff like malwarebytes and spybot sd, I especially like the feature of spybot sd that automatically adds a whole bunch of known sites into my host file
I use a sandbox for suspicious shit and that's it.
macOS
virustotal
Protegent
Linux + GNU/Common Sense Pro
uBlock Origin
Paid a street urchin to build me a custom one
windows 7
ublock origin
noscript
the ability to not download dodgy files from shady websites
knowing all processes, and can spot ones that shouldnt be there
by those powers combined, i am anti-antivirus man
>Windows 7
You already fucked up, cretin.
NoScript.
And common sense
uBlock Origin + Windows Defender, with Malwarebytes for backup.
The perfect combo, prove me wrong.

I'm glad this thread exists because I didn't wanna make a thread just for my dumb question.
Anyway, I use Windows Defender, and lately I've been noticing that the memory usage of Antimalware Service Executable (MpMsEng.exe) has been steadily increasing the longer my computer is on. (Restarting seems to reset it, but it starts climbing again) So I figure its got a memory leak, but google wont tell me shit. No one else seems to have this issue. I'm thinking about disabling Windows Defender and replacing it with Kaspersky or Bitdefender, but from what I've read they have a worse performance impact that Windows Defender does.
Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this or if I should just disable it and use another AV?

bitdefender
I consider myself "tech-savvy", but I really have to use Windows for my work. I already use uBlock on my favorite web browser, have all important updates installed, and my Common Sense™ is good enough.
But how would I make it more secure?
For example, against threats I don't "need" to actively accept into my computer/internet, stuff that happens without needing my consent? What are good practices I can have to avoid getting infected?
It's useless against malware
you know what you need to do

>I don't use my computer for anything but ricing and showing off my waifu pics on Jow Forums
ESET is my antivirus of choice, and free Malwarebytes for occasional deep scans.
stop using Windows. I threw a shit fit to IT at work and got an exception lmao
common sense and windows defender

The only way for me to get rid of Windows is to be unemployed. Adobe/Office suite is shit on Linux. And many other things, like Gpu drivers etc.
I test anything questionable in a VM. As for my Linux machine I just stick to Arch's repositories except for like two AUR packages.

>knowing all processes
once malware is in process it's too late already
you can't spot the milisecond prior to it infiltrating your system
>has been steadily increasing the longer my computer is on.
you're already infected
this is why you kee[p backups, because it could have spreAd anywhere to any file in your computer now

>shitty Microsoft product has a memory leak
How shocking!
Avast
>and can spot ones that shouldnt be there
And how do you plan on removing it?
Microsoft Security Essentials
I have malwarebytes on one of my utility usb sticks in case Common Sense™ crashes
at work NOD32 and malwarebytes
This.
Malware Bytes fucked up my laptop years ago. Been running my desktop with common sense since then and never had a problem. Literally placebo software.
