free antivirusHi,
what do you guys use for anti virus please? Always used Eset but cannot find a good cracked copy of it, I know can use TNOD but don't want to use that.
Thanks
Or if you're still on windows 7, Microsoft Security Essentials. That and more recently with win 10 /Windows Defender are all that I've used for years.Windows defender... seems to do the trick for me.
Is it possible to remove any other external antivirus and just keep Windows defender as the main antivirus?
With Windows defender can I avoid any virus?
The latest antivirus that I have installed is not entirely good or consumes too many resources from my PC, slowing down my computer
Never got past mine yet, used in conjunction with Malwarebytes. I also use common sense but Malwarebytes is good at stopping dodgy sites and I normally find that Defender also gives the same warning.I would not recommend windows defender because, although it is the default defense of the system, it is also the most vulnerable because it is the first that everyone tries to throw and unfortunately successfully. The Windows update level defend is not equal to that of a software that is dedicated specifically as antivirus. ESET worked well for me (in any of its versions) although none is 100% reliable, due to the amount of R&D that the area of viruses and hacking develops.
I agree to that but for malware. I paid for mine years ago and has been an indispensable tool. I have cleaned thousands of "hits" from some customer's drives.Not having a dig at anyone,but isn't anti virus/firewall the one piece of software worth paying for?
