What kind of antivirus do you people use?

just wondering. i've been using avg, but it kind of sucks and gets intrusive

AVG has gone downhill for years now.

Best Free AV on the market: Avast

Best Paid AV on the market: Trend Micro

I've been using Avira Free AV for the past year. Don't have any complaints.

Microsoft Security Essentials. Has worked really well for me.

Avast...

avast cause I'm cheap

Since I'm running Windows 8.1 I use the built in Windows Defender and it seems to work really well and it's completely non-intrusive.

Microsoft security essentials and Norton. As much flak as Norton gets it does a hell of a job. So far it's kept my computer safe and clean.

Microsoft Security Essentials.

ESET - NOD 32 - Best Antivirus, period.

I've been using Bitdefender for a couple of months now, but I'm considering returning to Avast - Bitdefender's simplicity and almost non-existent interface leave me in doubt and make me think if my PC really is protected.

avast free version

don't need anything more

Kaspersky, only recently started using it, but running my comp for a few months (new build) without it, and it didn't find anything upon first sweep. So either I was really good, or...

I use both Avast! and MalwareBytes. Free and I have yet to catch a virus. *knocks on wood*

Was AVG, but just switched to Microsoft Security Essentials.

Most will laugh at this but I use Norton system tools.

A few years ago Norton was a horrible system hog but these days it uses very few resources, non intrusive, secure and safe.

I used AVG for a while but that was a nightmare to do anything with.

I've been using Avast(free) for the past 4 years now... Haven't run into a single problem.

Microsoft security essentials

also i do scans sometimes with Malware bytes, which is a good free one also... and not laggy or intrusive like other antiviruses, u can just load it whenever and scan

Malware Bytes Pro. Never seen a pop up or any indication that's even running. Plus I know it's good and was cheap.

^ This is a smart person....

Norton it is ! (NIS2014)

"Worst" may fit better!

Are you kidding me? Norton is the worst and most intrusive antivirus ever made from my experiance.

Nod32 has been absolutely perfect for me.

Same here (though for longer).

Out of all the free anti virus's I've used (AVG, Avast, Avira), Avira has been the most stable and the fastest. AVG got terrible with the resource usage and when I used Avast, it actually got infected by a virus and I had to use Avira to clean it up, so that is what I have been using ever since.

Dunno , i ain't no antivirus expert , i said it by experience, but it doesn't matter as long as u be careful yourself u know ..

used to be MSE, now I use Avast

and Sophos on my Mac

MSE, malwarebytes, and my brain

Avast!

Seems to work fine, and is fairly cheap. Used to use Norton since it came with my PC, but I am glad that is gone.

no antivirus update this update that i hate'em

MSE and malwarebytes free scans every week or so on both my laptop and desktop.

I know MSE isn't the best but it's good enough and doesn't ever get in the way.

norton security...

I've used BitDefender for the last 5 years or so but this time I felt like trying something different. I've used Ad-aware Free + for the last month or so, it's ok but there's nothing like the feel of a good paid AV.

That's it I'm going back to paid!

Edit: I download some strange stuff so I need comprehensive Anti-virus

Microsoft Security Essentials. Never had a problem

windows defender/MS security... because it comes built in to windows 8.1

Whatever is built into Windows, with a handful of things disabled, and a careful eye on what I look at and/or download. I haven't used any other kind of dedicated anti-virus in nearly 10 years, and haven't got a virus in that time, either.

None .

This just made my whole day. I needed a good laugh.

If you don't have anti-virus software, how do you know that you don't have any viruses or malware?

I used some like McAfee and AVG for years, but recently, I've switched over to just the Microsoft ones like Defender. I find that it detects with greater accuracy. In the EXTREMELY rare event I get a virus (always because someone else used it) I use Malwarebytes free anti-malware removal tool, though Microsoft has their own option.

Best comment I've seen in my entire life. I just hate antiviruses useless as shit!

Tried AVG, sucks, Avira, sucks, Avast, sucks, Kaspersky, sucks.

Windows Defender since it's built in to Windows 8, and common sense.

Antivirus is dead anyway, according to Symantec.

I've given up on antiviruses for now and haven't used it for years . Had no problems so far . I rather re-install Windows .

You guys should try running a scan, you probably find a few things in there.

Crazy...

I personally don't use and agree about using anti virus but I've encountered a virus which caused me rather odd heavy slow to my computer which forced me to reset it, my heart almost stopped beating when I thought it was the end and I'm needed to format and install all of my programs and games all over again.

Long Short story: I use NOD32

Of course we do .

Lol actually I have avast right now -_- I can't convince my brother to delete it..so annoying

Your brother must be the smart one in the family...
