What virus scanner do you use?

My Laptop Avast! free anti virus
My Desktop: Nod32 Payed version
My Phone: CM Security

I just have Window Defender. It's enough for me and it doesn't bloody freaks out at every little thing like other AVs...I just hate the safe dance...

"OMG!!! It's an EXE! They want to kill you!!!" err..it's my exe...I made it, it's safe "BUT but it's an EXE!! From the interwebs!!! It's surely a trojan!" stand down, I mailed it to myself, it's safe! "But you don't know what happened to it while it was out there; I still say it's dangerous!" piss off and let me download it "Fine, have it your way, I'll just stealthily delete it on reboot...you'll never know..."

@korvus: Nod 32 is obedient you can put it on "gamer mode" so he won't bother you with that xD

Kaspersky internet security 2016 ( license for 1 year 1 PC )

None, I have a Mac.

@TheFlush: /thread

Macs get viruses too. Especially newer ones, which is why Apple stores tend to replace hard-drives quite frequently...

I use AVG across all of my systems. I don't do banking on anything other than my desktop on my network, I also check my balances every day.

I don't plug any of my devices into a power source I don't trust ie no public USB charging stations.

Windows 8.1 (you can't not have AV with W8+) and MalwareBytes.

Sure, Macs can get viruses as well, but the chance you'll get one is quite slim.

I use Norton.

And it sucks.

Kaspersky 2015, 1 pc, 1 year. Interesting thread though

None.

Norton master race!

I was a die hard Kaspersky fan but now I am using Bit defender. It is definitely much lighter on my laptop and has a cleaner feel to it. It is not as intrusive as Kasperky was.

i haven't used one in ages. and i don't have a mac.

Nothing. I let Norton expire on my laptop and I've had no issues. I'll run a Malwarebytes scan occasionally, but it never turns anything up.

Edit: I think I probably have Windows Defender running

I did have Norton 360 running for a while.

That's expired now, so currently just have the free version of AVG.

Avast

Currently nothing as I have a Chromebook.

AVG

AVG Free. It seems to get the job done and isn't annoying or invasive.

I have Avast, SlimCleaner, and Malwarebytes installed on my laptop. I alternate between the three. On my android tablet I have Avast.

Yeah same for e, I got a Chromebook as well, and I don't think I ever actually installed anything on it. My desktop has a virus scanner though. McAfee, and I really don't think its one of the better ones... I mean maybe it is quite good and effective, but... eh... on the other hand though, it seems like all anti-virus scanners might feel that way.

I use Norton because of their extensive database about viruses out there

Malware Bytes

Vipre for laptop and desktop. Cm security for phone.

Nothing, Kerberos protects me, only IT people know what it is, oh and greeks :p

I bought a pack of Bitdefender keys for all my PC's and gave one to my dad as well. Great AV from what I can tell!

None.

Those things are a scam.

And no im not using a mac.

Avast and malwarebytes.

Don't really need an AV these days, exploits get patched way too fast and coding isn't as unsecured like it once was.

AVG Free.

@airshocker: @mjorh AVG is probably the worst one to have

(yay you are my 2k post)

@dylandr: Which one do you recommend?

@horgen:

If you don't want to spend money: Avast! antivirus, you can use @tempinbox.com for infinite free time :3

If you don't mind paying for the protection: Nod32

@dylandr: Avast... Haven't used that in years. Got a free trial on laptop when I bought it... Which is some 5 years ago now.

@horgen: Just extend by using this E-mail: Freeme@Tempinbox.com

@dylandr: That sounds like a lot of work for a lazy student.

@horgen: come on! move!

...guess. This one shouldn't be hard.

@musicalmac: Windows Defender

@dylandr: Oh so close.... (It's a trick question ;) )

@musicalmac: baked potato 69?

AVG Free 2015

Norton Anti Virus

windows defender & AVG free

i'd use Avast but the problem is, avast as far as i recall, had the ugliest UI ever developed in recorded history

Mcaffee Total Protection- which has caused me more grief then the viruses getting rid of this, this summer that is for sure.

Might try Kaspersky next hopefully it is better or some other antivirus not getting mcaffee ever again.

I used to use Avast, but after an update it started blue screening my laptop on boot... I now switched to Panda antivirus.

symantec endpoint protection

Microsoft Security Essentials
