Been using Nortons for many years, Been ok mostly though recently it is being a twat. It will block legit shit i want to download or run. Plus i don't want give the wankers anymore dosh when the subscription runs dry. So recommendations please
Avast anit-virus has a decent free part. They ask for upgrades once or twice a year, but you can just get the free one each time AVG is also another good one.
I use Avast, and run Malwarebytes every couple months for insurance. If you've never used Malwarebytes, its the shiznit. They don't offer an actual antivirus for free though, just the remover.
I use malwarebytes, and I can confirm that it is the shit. Very low impact on resources and amazingly effective. Atomic is right though, they don't offer it all for free. The scan and removal tools are free, but, if you want real time protection, you have to pay for it. I did, and it's been the best antivirus I've had.
I use the windows one and malwarebytes and its all i've ever needed. because i don't download porn. why download that shit when you can stream it.
I have all of my game projects and company credit card stuff in a big ftp folder "user":"password". Not been stolen yet. As for antivirus, I don't believe in cylons so I don't have any and I keep all ports open. How come? The folder as well as the hard drive are filled with saved images from Dihm links. It's like growing plants in liquid pesticide.
+1 to malwarebytes. I don't currently have an active antivirus system though, I may consider picking up Avast...
