The free versions are enough to get you by, no problem. Lastly, both AVG and Avira have free versions. Both AVG and Avira are not resource heavy either so you won't be eating your system performance by using either.
I personally still think Avira is great and while not the greatest by many many lists, works none the less for again - basic PC use. If you ha e a corporate liscense, sure it gets you lots of AV liscenses with full support for cheap but for regular users, they're both absolutely terrible and a RIP off.ĪVG is a commonly used basic AV for beginners and while it not what it used to be, it should be more than adequate if you're a conscious and breathing human who knows you shouldn't be downloading files from uknown sources or opening unknown emails with download attachments. Those AVs are terrible as well and are resource heavy. It was fine in a pinch back in the day (like waaaaay back) but has since been compromised and is actually unsafe.Īlso, dont use Norton and McAffee. Speaking from IT experience, we dont use Kaspersky for a reason. You should also use two factor authentication on you financial accounts and your primary email account.” Of course all our computers have antivirus, it protects us from dumbasses who plug thumbdrive they find in the ground in that are infested with old crimeware, but other than that it is a waste. What it is talking to what it is doing etc. It more looks at the profile of stuff running on your computer. This (Crowdstrike) is they type of program we run to look for malware. If you shit is patched you are good, or you could use Linux since less targeted. A patch comes out and they were exploiting it in mass a week later. The quickest turnaround I have seen is a week. The cyber criminals are always targeting patched vulnerabilities (at least 99.999% of time).
Which are you being dumb and installing it, malicious adds, infected website’s, and emails with malicious attachments. It is better to block the paths they use to get on. The serious crimeware they have now changes itself every couple of days.
You could install Mcafee, Kasphersky, or AVG, but the truth is though unless it is old malware it isn’t going to find it and even then it is much less than 100%. Don’t crick on shady shit or install shady shit. Don’t install pirated software these days. Use Chrome or Firefox with Adblock of some sort Adblock Chrome Extension or AdGuard - what I use, it's way better but it costs - worth every penny. Don’t install flash or java if you can avoid it. Here is some advice from a friend of mine who is the security expert for the highest level government officials: Even Symantec (yes, Norton Anti-Virus™ People, the world’s biggest IT security company) says it's dead. Google says it's worthless, Firefox's former developer says it's " terrible and should uninstall it immediately". You really don't need it anymore if you are smart.
