Bitcoin Forum

For the past last year, i have developed a habit of paying for some services such as online subscriptions and refills using Bitcoin. I am trying to practice what i preach to my folks here so that they could also fall in love with bitcoin.

So i wanted to ask if anybody knows any good anti virus program that accepts payments in bitcoin. I would appreciate if you shared some knowledge with me  ;)

Unfortunately I don't know major antivirus programs accepting Bitcoin. I only know that Malwarebytes accept Bitcoin. In past I saw that Avira started accepting crypto payments for VPN subscriptions, but I'm not sure that you can buy their antivirus with crypto.
Alternatively, you can use websites like Newegg to buy antivirus with Bitcoin.

Malwarebytes is accepting bitcoin before but right now they remove this as another payment option. Avira is also accepting bitcoin but not now maybe last year but this year they are not accepting any crypto.

My best bet if you want to buy well-known antivirus like Kaspersky and pay with Bitcoin you can use Newegg they accept bitcoin as payment.

Here's the link below.

Or use bitcoin Debit/Credit card (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DRbTeMCzb4UeXI0YlAzBxMc2u2i0cN_17Ql6eMngK6E/edit?ouid=102759487087229390875&usp=sheets_home&ths=true) to buy directly.

According to Spendabit (https://spendabit.co/go?q=antivirus&discount=) and in addition to Newegg, you have WebHallen (German) and Keys4coins (you can find plenty of reviews about them).

I know that's not the question here, but antivirus in 2019? :D

I don't think that's necessary. I stopped using AV more than 5 years ago and I have never got a malware since then. Common sense is better than relying in a software that basically only do heuristic analysis.

You never know what could hit you mate  :D
Using an antivirus doesn't mean that one should go on and become careless. It's just my other line of defense, Just in case.

First thing that came to my mind was Antivirus McAfee (company of John McAfee) but no, they don't accept bitcoin (said just for fun).
BitMaxz suggested you newegg. I'll add that another option is to use purse.io (had similar case and people suggested it to me), buy amazon gift card via bitcoin (purse.io gives you discount) and then buy almost any antivirus from amazon.

Antivirus in 2019? I think we are far developed in programming skills compared to old years and now there are better viruses :D
But to be fair we don't need, just don't visit all kind of websites and more likely you'll be safe.

LOL. Hey, while I really don't use antiviruses(because Linux), I still have the free version of MalwareBytes on my Windows 10 OS. While it's not actively running, I still run the MalwareBytes virus scanner for like once in two weeks, you know, juuuust to be extra sure. But yea, I don't think antiviruses are really necessary unless probably for our parents that's likely to click on some random email attachment.

As for OP, probably look for a license seller on Amazon, and pay it through Purse.io so you can pay using bitcoin.

If it's free, then it's ok. I also had MalwareBytes for some time (I believe it's better than any of the conventional AVs, like Norton or Kaspersky) and it's ok to run a scan from time to time. Also, I'm not really hating AVs. Just saying that they aren't responsible for 1% of your online security (imo) :D.

Yeah malwarebytes is enough even windows defender itself is fine with me.

OP, Why not try crypto credit card to pay your antivirus subscription? Like crypto.com, It's a visa card that you can pay via crypto.

As far as I remember malwarebytes accepted bitcoin as payment , I dont know now if they still accepts it ,you may also do deposit bitcoin in your credit card , make some cash in and then use your credit card to buy that anti malware. There is an other way, maybe not directly but it has, ive used my cc to purchase it last month and it works, there are ways to pay and use our bitcoin , you may convert it in fiat then buy CD of the anti virus that you want.

Agree to this but people are way too paranoid when it comes to security thats why they do add up these AV even more having 2 installed at a time (my experience)  ;D

Im not aware with AV's that do accepts btc into their subscription yet im not interesting on spending some btc on it yet you can even get Eset premium for free with license which expires 2021 which
ive been using at the moment.

I agreed Kaspersky is also best in terms of service and features and any one can easily pay through Bitcoin through Newegg. I purchased Avira through bitcoin 2 years back but i do not the current status
