I finally realized that Avast is a piece of shit.

What's a good anti-virus software to use? I've been eyeing F-Secure.

Linux

Good meme.

Common Sense 2017 edition

Good meme.

Any OS that doesn't require AV is best AV

If you insist on using windows, forget shitty all in one AVs that rely on outdated databases and heuristic scannings and look into looking windows down instead

Either by learning how to configure the built in tools or get something like appguard

locking windows down, not looking

sorry senpai

Bad meme.

>being so retarded that you need an antivirus

i use eset. i'm satisfied with it.

>good anti-virus

>he thinks his obscure commie OS is secure

>literally giving binaries that you don't fully trust execution rights
That's most of what is wrong with "modern" computing.

and will do the job.

Bitdefender dumbass. Avast went out the door in 2015

Bitdefender Free or Kaspersky Free

Sophos

The list for Windows is too big to post.

Just use the Microsoft one. Viruses aren't that big of a deal anymore

This, and backups.

If you insist on using Windows the only Anti-virus that isn't a total resource hog is Windows defender. Everything else will just leech every once of performance from your computer.

how often do those appear?

What do you guys think of kaspersky ?
Is this botnet or it won't report anything if you pay them?

you need to use all of them to be sure

panda

...

this, been using it as my sole AV for a while with no problems
it also helps if you have common sense

stop trying to peddle common sense gennady

Common sense, not even a meme just use it. You don't need to invest so much money in a third party software when you can just be more careful with the sites you click on an what you download. Complete waste of money imo

Common Sense 2018

>implying he doesn't use the capitalist red hat

windows defender.

install virtualbox and a distro in it for watching streaming porn, voila

Just use MSE and MalwareBytes

>MB
Cancer

>I've been eyeing F-Secure.
I misread that as F-Seizure at first.

>he likes spyware on his system

Use Bitdefender, whatever you can afford.

If you're poor, use Windows defender

Just use Windows. It's the most secure OS out there. If you insist on using MacOS or Linux, I really don't have an answer for you. You're pretty much screwed no matter what you choose.

First post best post. First realization is that Avast is shit, next one should be that the whole Windows is shit.

>inb4 Linux is bad because I don't know how to do something even though others can and have done the same thing

If your PC doesn't suck, Norton paid will keep you in a steel armor

If it's weak, Bitdefender.

Funny how script kiddies think linux or mac or just common sense keep you malware safe, as if you could use common sense against drive by download or hacker intrusions.

That's why I also use Little Snitch on my Mac and a hardware firewall on my Linux server. Just because an OS is less targeted since it's nicher it doesn't mean it's safe from everything.

What if he weren't a 14 years old who only uses PC for porn and actually needed some Windows-only software for work?

Good luck using linux for audio production, video editing or digital art.

How does it affect GNU/Linux? You are obligated to chmod it to execute, or this uses already chmod'd binaries to take advantage?

Kaspersky is the only one NSA doesn't recommend businesses use.

Which means that Kaspersky is the only one worth using as it doesn't have a backdoor made by NSA.

However you are at risk that Russians might use it to spy on you, especially if there is any type of conflict in the future.

This, Norton is shit, Kaspersky is botnet and everything else is a waste of time

>Good luck using linux for audio production, video editing or digital art.

>>inb4 Linux is bad because I don't know how to do something even though others can and have done the same thing
Called it.

If you're on Windows 7 use Bitdefender or Avira.
If you're on Windows 10, just use Windows Defender with the occasional Malwarebytes scan.

Use uBlock Origin in your browser and add in a bit of common sense, and you'll be fine.

yeah there's are a shitton of backdoors that the rooshians use in Kaspersky, switched to Bitdefender when I learned about it, but that caused BSODs, currently on Avast and it's pretty good.

>Good luck using linux for audio production, video editing or digital art.

Audio: Audacity, Ardour, LMMS
Video: Blender, KDEnlive, OpenShot, Flowblade
Art: Krita, GIMP, Inkscape
There's plenty software to the whatever you want, only depends how the user work.

Windows 10.

those are undeniably good tools for linux, but sadly they are not industry standards. when will big tech companies realize that it's time to shy away from expensive adobe products?

>proven and audited Mandatory access control, rich ACL support, filesystem namespacing and cgroups.
>insecure

ok kid.
as far as I know, windows only has half assed 4 level labels for their mandatory access control system and still rely on NTLMv2 for authentication which isn't hashed and vulnerable to pass the hash attacks.

Microsoft Security Essentials with Common Sense

or

NOD32 Masterrace with license copied from facebook comments (just search nod32 facebook serial license key in google)

"salted" i mean whatever I'm tired.

linux is probably the only OS that actually takes security seriously.

and before you say OpenBSD, just don't. Jut because your "base system" of anemic software is secure doesn't mean your shitty base system is secure from a misbehaving out-of-base system application.

Silly trip, winblow$ is for plebs and noobs.

funny how retards think a collection of nonfree and unaudited parsers for nearly hundreds, if not thousands, of files somehow makes your computer secure from malicious binaries.

funny how retards think that a nonfree blob in their kernel on a nonfree kernel will somehow make their computer magically secure against "zero day" kernel or userspace software exploits.

the fact is if your kernel doesn't offer a proven mandatory access control framework like SELinux, your shitware is not secure. period. your meme malware called antivirus does not give you this.

>Audio: Audacity, Ardour, LMMS
Good luck using Audacity (the others are crap) for complex audio projects instead of a fully-featured DAW like Cubase or Logic Pro or Pro Tools. Also lmao at finding good drivers for audio cards as they're already not always that good in Windows or Mac.
>Video: Blender, KDEnlive, OpenShot, Flowblade
The fact that you had to put blender into the list tells us all.
>Art: Krita, GIMP, Inkscape
Good luck with your art tablet's drivers

I love Linux but on some things it's nkt really geared for professional use

Nice mental gymnastics to not admit your shitty hax0r OS has no firewall

at the same time.

Common Sense 2017 + Windows Defender is enough, add some anti-malware if you use older version of CS2K17

firewall is only useful for preventing denial of service or other wasteful and unsolicited communication.

unauthenticated services running without a firewall are just as insecure as they would be with one.

and iptables is a thing dipshit. SELinux and a wide variety of shitty iptables frontends make it trivial from stopping userspace programs from listening on arbitrary ports.

hell SELinux can go a step further in preventing programs from even opening inet sockets to connect to ports running on a machine or externally.

just stop being a dipshit kid. you're so wrong it's not even funny.

>red hat

>Being so conceited that you won't even accept free added security against inevitable drive by attacks.

>accept free added security against inevitable drive by attacks.

lmao wut? what mythical thing provides this?

>let "common sense" meme
>what is a 0day

Firejail and common sense are all you need.

Something that antiviruses can't protect you from unless they are the one that created the virus, and something that firejail can mitigate.

>what is a 0day

a flaw in userspace or kernelspace software that must be addressed with a patch or a new software version.

in some cases, sand boxing such as linux namespaces or mandatory access control can mitigate most major attack vectors and would make successful or a meaningful attack very hard.

>not knowing what heuristic and behavior based protection is

It's something they can protect you from before the software is able to provide a patch

And tell me how firejail wouldn't mitigate this?

I never said it wouldn't.

no what are they?

does your shitty av fucking intercept every syscall and ld_preload injects some shitware in all your processes?

I know most memeware AVs usually install nonfree filesystem drivers for "real time protection" by scanning files that change on disk.

Don't you mean 2018?

None. If you're not a retard then you'll be fine. Get something like malwarebytes and do a scan every once in a while.

>what is a 0day

something that can only be addressed by fixing the software you fucking retard.

Literally what

Antivirus software can monitor for actions associated with 0days and mitigate the exploits.

Or firejail, which should be done by default.

>comodo firewall + kaspersky
More than what you need but if you don't have enough space keep comodo

sucks!! kaspersky is better

>audacity better than ardour
Proof you haven't used either.

ya sure it can kid.

and I bet your mythical AV can detect the evil Sup Forums hackers too.

or maybe you can have an actual secure OS that actually implemented the shit laid out int he orange book and then you wouldn't have to guess or mad the equivalent of vdso or whatever god awful process tracing bullshit AVs have to be doing to detect this shit.

>linux
>problems with drivers
Seriously, have you ever actually got something relevant done with Linux other than fapping to pacman?

lmms, audacity, ardour
kdenlive
K R I T A, solid shit, made a few animations in it already

None. Use normal user (w/o admin privileges) and use SRP (Software Restriction Policies). Even if you download something bad yourself it won't do anything. Or you can continue to waste time on a/v software.
