You subtract.

ESET NOD32 Beta (Free)

Install Common Sense 2017

>free
Wat

>intentionally installing a chinese botnet on your computer

Bitdefender is your best option if you absolutely must have an AV running all the time.

How do you even manage to put up with this shit is beyond me.

it literally is. since it's beta they need users
eset is based in slovakia
i like slovakia

>eset is based in slovakia
That's what they want you to think

It's too late user, destroy everything in your digital life

your tinfoil is showing

And what is the point of using a fucking beta

Pirate it

Because it's a free version of NOD32.

It's legally/morally free.
If you want stable there are keys floating everywhere

>pirating antivirus
that destroys the whole point of using an av
only use keys/never use cracked av

It's a stable version with new features built on top of it.

Hello OP.

Interesting question. Personally I use Avast, which is free, is ok versatility wise, but has one or two niggles in it. It has a "Game Mode", which switches it's speed, and you can activate/Deactivate shields.

There are others and it really is up to you. ClamWin is having good things said about it (Will provide sauce - SourceForge). I used Avira at one point, but it just behaved like a drunk on valium trying to do a 100m sprint.

Good Luck OP.

.. sorry, I meant to add, who can forget AVG antivirus. Also free, pretty good, but the slowest I've tried.

If you are in a situation where you need antivirus, he's right, BitDefender is your best choice.

Just install Comodo Firewall, it also has a more complete and free* version with regular antivirus, standard HIPS protection and even a poorman virtualization.

There still are adds, but they are much less frequent than Avira. In the 2 years I've using Comodo, I think I've seen only 2 or so ads.

I press the little red X, then no more ads untill 24hrs when Program does an update will you then see this ad once again. Small price for something semi libre.

Thanks user, I only stopped using the hacked version of NOD32 because it seemed meaningless to use a hacked AV. Is it worth using the Internet Security version, or is just regular NOD32 fine?

Here's what the website lists as what differences there are between the two, but it doesn't list anything in regards to differences in performance. Also, kek at the botnet protection, truly Sup Forums's AV.

malwarebytes is all i need

Avast Internet Security with a key from KAT.

>ads on an antivirus
>antivirus is adware
>adware is a virus
mfw antivirus is a virus

Is there any anti virus software that doesn't upload the contents of my HDD to their/NSA's servers?

>he doesn't know what adware is

You can disable ads.
You don't even watch options of your software? I bet you even leaved Comodo on default settings.

adds?

There are certain malwares which cannot even be found once entered, but can easily be stopped entering your pc if you have some AV with deny-policy.

No
>install qihoo 360

Is ClamAV a viable option right now?

...

Clam still has no viable realtime scanning.

Don't use an antivirus, just run tronscript every week and use your brain when on the computer

Comodo is a free security suite with AV, FW, sandbox, HIPS; if I must say a negative thing of it, it's the default config because configured for casuals, but in Sup Forums this shouldn't be an issue.

>If you want stable there are keys floating everywhere
there is any difference between nod32 trial and "full"?

I have it for almost a year and it never detected anything

No difference
That just means you have common sense

Also get mbam and do a scan from time to time
It sometimes catches what nod32 doesnt

Wasn't Symantec Endpoint Protection free for home users too?

ESET Smart Security + TNOD
The rest uses way too much resources

I have malwarebytes and use virustotal on pretty much everything I download

Still nothing was detected

Before this I got some sites scripts and stuff detected from time to time I think (hope) the change to ublock origin is the reason of my AV being useless

I do all the same things.
The only detections are shady cracks I'm downloading, and I run them sanboxed anyway.
You already know what you're doing, so it's normal there are no detections

Common Sense is the only antivirus thar gets rid of the ads (forever)

What do you use to sandbox stuffs
I'm using comodo but its pretty fukken slow and sandboxie is annoying

What's annoying about sandboxie?
I use that, didn't have any problems

The free version "features"

So far, agreeing with these two. And I've tried everything. Just don't be stupid (pirate apps/porn sites without browser add-on protection) and you'll be fine.

Where can you get the nod 32 beta

Antivirus is a placebo

I got my copy off shadytorrentsite.ru

people that says this are the same people that come on Sup Forums to bitch about having their shit cryptolocked by malware

>I use le common sense anti-virus
>scan their computer
>at least 3 infections found
Every, single, time.

But I use Linux, user.

GNU/Linux to be exact.

eset.com/int/download/beta-versions/detail/family/323/fileflag/beta/

Linux isn't immune. You are just less likely to get viruses because the people that make malware prefer the lowest common denominator. i.e. Linux is just less targeted because it is so unpopular.

avira free 2016 here
how and when the fuck do you get ads?
I haven't seen any avira ads since early 2015

no popups in the lower right or windows


?

>Linux isn't immune
True, but if you try to run malicious software on Linux then it throws up big red flags when it asks for a root or superuser password.

dumb tripfag cancer
kill yourself finally

Comodo is the best. And their firewall is fucking amazing to be honest.

Just buy a mac

nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2012/11/27/flaming-retort-linux-rootkit-news-provides-some-comic-relief/

This.
I started using it since I looked at matousec.com/projects/proactive-security-challenge/results.php

kill yourself cancerous tripfag

I've lived with Common Sense 2006 for a decade, but decided on adding webroot for a bit more piece of mind with zero performance impact

Daily reminder that if you use antivirus you on your PC you don't belong to Sup Forums
