>antivirus
>2017

yes really

my dude, just download/install these 3 things:

>MalwareBytes (buy the premium version if you can)
>AVG Free
>Install uBlock Origin addon for your browser.

TempleOS

>AVG

no

Kaspersky it is.

it really doesn't matter, just some padding. if you know what is legit and what is clearly not-safe on the internet, you will be just fine with AVG's free version (believe it or not). hell you can do without it also. I just recommend MalwareBytes and uBlock Origin as a must though.
I know, it sounds a bit crazy, but paying for anti-virus is fucking stupid nowadays.

I can get a Kaspersky key on G2A for $6 though.

Plus you never know, the NSA might shift their attention to compromising individual machines.

Well Russia's Kaspersky isn't a five-eyes member state, at least.

kaspersky

Confirmed.

eh, well for 6 bucks that's not so bad. Again, it really doesn't matter, but it will be a nice safety net though. (paid) anti-virus is mainly for computer-illiterate folks, like that one aunt or uncle who installs 20 internet toolbars on their browser and plays online poker on sketchy ass sites.

I do like my sketchy software...

>Delete system32
>Install linux distribution of your choice

Done!

ESET all the way

Yeah. Don't bother.

I use Avast®. Even the free version is okay. I've tried the paid ver. and it's pretty good too. £20 for a whole year, pretty cheap (roughly $25). It lets you do a lot of useful stuff such as boot-time scans and individual scans of objects, and it has this thing called "Active Shield™" where if you click on some dodgy website and it gives you a virus, Avast® does something and blocks the virus from loading properly onto your machine. If you somehow do get a virus, you can do a scan and then choose to delete the virus from your patented Quarantine Virus Chest™ .

I don't know how standard any of this, just telling you what I know about Avast® Antivirus™ from Avast Software® s.r.o., the most popular free anti-virus solution in the world!

>falling for the antiviral-Jew

ALL anti-viruses get definition updates (what is and isn't a virus). All of these definitions are "pointed" at either IP addresses (controlled by ARP tables from your ISP and general DNS servers, both of which are compromised) or at domain names (controlled by DNS servers, again). Literally all anti-virus programs are compromised. All are vulnerable to this single attack vector. With enough control and compromise, it's over (even if you use a home DNS, it comes back to ARP tables from the ISP). A VPN would help, but if you've accessed any, ANY part of the internet (let's say you VPN from above the OS level, but Windows Updates don't use the VPN), your anti-virus is not entirely your own.

>Which is the best commercial antivirus?
Adblocker of choice + some common fucking sense about what you do online. Linux if you're so inclined. Backups of important things are important too, just in case.

Infections don't happen randomly, they happen because you did something stupid that left you vulnerable, like installing cracked software from shady places or clicking random links to .ru domains or letting Pornhub and its advertisers run all the javascript and flash content they want.

t. 10+ years and counting with zero infections with no active AV and automatic OS and browser updates turned off.

thanks for the chuckle, Avast

My nigger, just torrent some shit like webroot and do a full scan if you think you actually have a virus. Then just download the anti-adware shit from Malwarebytes, run it, and then you're good to go.

T-Thanks, Mr. Comey.

This guy gets it.

This guy also does as well

Anti virus, as well as MalwareBytes (anti-malware) are both a good *safety net*

most practical situation: when you're drunk off your ass and start tumbling down the rabbit hole on the internet and you're too inebriated to spot BS while surfing the web. these tools (even an ad-blocker) will stop you and let you know whatever site or link is unsafe.
You really have to be stupid in the year 1776+241 to catch a virus/malware on your computer, especially with a basic antivirus like AVG installed. No big deal if you do either, just reformat and cleanse with MalwareBytes and ccleaner if you're ultra paranoid.

That's nice but there is a good chance the virus definitions are encrypted for this exact reason.

You're not convincing anyone, government Jew.

Encrypted traffic is only as strong as
A) the encryption protocol and what generates it, many of which are compromised, particularly those used by large companies (see Intel's secondary processor compromise, I believe the acronym used was MBE or Mother Board Environment)
B) even if you can't reverse the encryption, if you can duplicate or spoof the encryption, your server can act as the definition server

While I'm not saying it's impossible, the AV company would die if it happened. Therefore, well guarded.

sure is sleepy in here

Did you install Avast® yet? You really should!

Yes.
Go off the grid it's the only way.
I touch myself every night thinking about the massive oversight we have over everything.

But this man-in-the-middle attack has actually been demonstrated at B-Sides Vegas and Blackhat by different presenters. I'm not saying some random ransom-ware spreader did it and therefore ruined the reputation of the blue-team companies, I'm saying it's possible to have been done by [%government%agency] to allow things like the now-public exploits to be ignored as non-malicious, which would be much more surreptitious and therefore wouldn't have the effect of people saying "I got Cryptowalled and I run Kaspersky! BS!".

I know I have a couple of viruses but what can I do to remove em? Malware bytes? torrent webroot? Helpp

Free Antivirus 2017 Plus

Hey I just realized you can actually turn off automatic updates on Kaspersky.

Nice touch, apparently. As for the blackhat convention demonstration, I would like to see if the update data was actually encrypted.

That I don't know. I wasn't there myself but know the presenter for B-Sides. I'll see if I can find some documentation before the thread dies.

First: Presentation at Defcon 23 (backdoor demonstration from local subnets, not entirely what I was looking for)

Doesn't look encrypted so far.

the thing is, if the AV provider uses encryption it's still worthless without a lot more work.

Agreed. This is, however, just the FLOSS version. I'd hate to see what years of port-replication at the ISP levels has lead to as far as spoofing that same encryption.
