A 5 minute lesson on how not to click bad links >>>> any antivirus to date.

Last time I had anti virus was when I was like 15 living with my parents. After getting my own place, my own pc, no av and common sense = no problem ezpz

Ironically friends that have av seem to get more viruses than I can remember :rofl:

eset Nod 32 , is great , especially for schools/businesses.
AVG used to be pretty popular.
Most people just use anti-malwarebytes.
however avast probably would catch more viruses than anti-malwarebytes, and is also free. ( but i personally don't use it)
Because it blocks too many of my games/programs ect.... like if i was doing virtual local lan for old school games ect.
Plus uses too much resources.

a really good Paid program would be kasperkey .
Also " VIPRE" is a paid program, and its extremly good, and uses very low amounts of resources, its like the #1 King for windows 95/98/xp/vista , for those with low amounts of ram, and older hard drives.

in 2020 you really don't want software on your computer that scans all of your files
kaspersky is backdoored by the russian government
avast and its subsidiary AVG got caught selling their customers' data
dont trust antivirus companies
ublock origin and common sense 2012 edition is enough protection

Started using a sandbox as a janky way to run multiple diablo2 instances many years ago.
Has kept my browser safe despite regularly visiting the sketchiest corners of the web.
Never liked the idea of constantly wasting resources for active scanning. Antivirus is unnecessary parasite.
