You don't need antivirus, just common sense

Bite me.

>These are exactly the same thing. Change my mind.
No why should I change your mind, make me !
I do not visit porn sites or dodgy hacker sites or cracker sites or serialz sites. I dont visit russian websites, I dont visit gambling sites. I dont use programs nobody ever heard of. In short, I use common sense and therefore have herd immunity

>Change my mind.
Why? No-one here cares what you think

>These are exactly the same thing.
no

If you visit mainstream sites, of course you don't need anti-virus. As soon as you visit something below that like piracy related sites like rarbg etc you are opening yourself up for potenial attack vectors that are out of your control.

Computer viruses don't have random mutations or selection pressures so we don't need to worry about everyone being up to date for fear of super viruses. Also someone else being insecure is pretty irrelevant if you yourself are secure

With more cases of people being infected on app stores and phishing links through smartphones, is phone antivirus starting to make more sense?

Only if you have a botnet OS.

>downloading, chmoding u+x and ./ing random executables from the internet

how do so many idiots like OP find their way here?

>dodgy hacker sites

says the guy posting on Jow Forums lmao

It's easy to identify software containing malware.
If you're careless, and malware gets through to your system anyway, it's easy to identify it running and manually get rid of it.
If it achieves full control of your system, it's easy to salvage your files and reinstall your OS.

Literally anyone could be carrying a real-life virus.
If you catch one, manually identifying and eliminating it is not only far from easy, it's actually impossible. Your body will do it for you, but it will take time, and there's nothing you can do about it.
If the virus claims your life, it's not possible with current medical technology to salvage your mind from your dead brain and reinstall your body.

Lol

cute girl

false equivalency

btw I would totally pump my semen into this person, if you know what I mean

It's more like how you don't need a vaccine to avoid STDs.

My computer ran the same windows 7 install from 2012, just recently I upgraded to 10 lstc. I did a full malwarebytes scan just in case and nothing was found.

based idiot

>actually believing this
Oh sweaty...

Firewall+Adblock and you're good in most cases.
but just in case you should still have a antivirus

Pic is of Yan aka @bcrypt. She is probably a better hacker than 99% of Jow Forums

why not have a lightweight antivirus and also use your common sense, you dumb fucking gamer grill?

Vaccinations and herd immunity go hand-in-hand because we aren't fucking neanderthals anymore either. There doesn't need to be a compromise here.

They kind of do. Computer viruses don’t randomly mutate, but they do mutate. And while the viruses themselves don’t face selection pressures, the modern virus creator does, as that is how he makes his money.

Just use Windows Defender for real time protection and ClamWin for scanning files and drives.

common sense to not get viruses of the human kind would be to entirely avoid humans. i really wish this was possible

>you don't need antivirus, just common sense
>you don't need vaccinations, just herd immunity
They are not the same because common sense is a real thing that actually exists and can be cultivated, unlike herd immunity, which is a meme.

If you don't need immunity, then get HIV, it will remove immunity.

Yes, but antivirus needs root access to be of any use.

you can format drives, you can't format your body

is this @bcrypt retarded bitch?

>antivirus
>vaccinations

None of that shit works

>antivirus completely useless in the age of malware
>still no cure for common flu and cold
>super germs evolve to resist antibiotics

I'd argue, but others already did so I'll just call you a retard.

I want to fuck yanzhu so bad

Part of common sense is not using Windows.

Windows 7 + uBlock Origin in medium blocking mode + SysHardener/Hard_Configurator + OSArmor if you're chickenshit

she's loud retarded bitch who knows actually little about security and cryptography

antivirus and vaccines are both poisons that make things worse

Lmao nigga u sweat

yeah but you can't really avoid sick people on the bus, but you can avoid shady websites, plus, antiviruses are the cure but not the proactive action taken to avoid getting viruses

>get proper virus
>die, get other people die too
>get computer virus
>lose some files
geez, totally same thing

You're right. Zoomers simply never "seen" a virus and visit few curated social media websites, but the moment you google and visit an uncommon website you're at risk.

>It's easy to identify software containing malware.
>If you're careless
A website with a(n) exploit/bug/js on it doesn't ask you anything, doesn't look "dodgy" considering 50% of the internet is white background endless scrolling wordpress now. It just infects your computer.

Zoomers are dumb.

Do you use homeopathic methods, too?

you are retarded enough to think that a software virus is the same as an organic virus so it's not worth the time to change your mind, you will probably never end up being anywhere that makes your opinion relevant anyway so why bother?

>A website with a(n) exploit/bug
yes because you know lots of websites just waste 100k minimum browser rces on random idiots for no reason
