Agnitum outpost firewall/kits are pretty good

Can you play Battlefield 4 or Titanfall on Linux , now don't say like just don't play

This thread is for Softwares not the usual linux vs windows debate.

It's not a windows vs linux debate. Just get linux software then you don't need anything else.

There is no linux-compatible versions for Battlefield 4 or Titanfall. A lot of other softwares are not compatible with Linux. If you are using your PC just to browse, then Linux is OK. But other than that, Windows is a must.

Common Sense. I'm sorry for those who don't have much as they can't buy it off the shelf in a nice retail box.

Seriously though, no amount of software is going to help you if you don't have common sense. I've heard of many security pros who don't bother with antivirus suites and the likes because they don't go around running random scripts, downloading and executing unknown executables on an admin account and so fourth.

Spybot does it for me 

[rohnearner]

I have Avast and Spybot because they are free.

as far as i know Avast is not totally  Free and the free one sucks..!

yeah I'm concerned with my privacy using avast after reading an interesting review about it few weeks ago.  The free service is slowing down my pc when it updates and it is beyond annoying.  I'm gonna have to figure out what I want soon with all the news these days about security.

Switch to avast premium or any other good anti Virus  :p or switch to  Linux

Linux is much better than any other antivirus and security software .

for me Norton 360 is best, never had any issue with that.

First you can play many games on Linux thanks to Wine and related program/script.
Secondly, Windows monopoly for video games won't last long but you must know it.

Norton always been the worse antivirus. It is considered a virus in itself because it makes the machine cripple.

Linux is great but it doesn't protect against virus/trojan/malware that you catch from an Internet browser.
Most Bitcoin trojan/keyloggers are cached from the browser.


The best security for browsing Internet is to use Firefox with NoScript and learn how to use it. Edward Snowden use it.

but if you have good PC with high Ram I dont think there is problem coz I am using myself last 5 years.

[skylys]

I use

Avast
Matware defender

they are great PC softwares,and easy to use.

[rohnearner]

So if a poll is conducted most of the members are using avast i'm quite skeptical that it is the best out there.!

[kuroman]

I'm pretty sure I can run a machine without a single antivirus or program without any issue, it's all about practices, I protect my self, because in some rare occasions, I download some files from untrusted source, a book in PDF format, a software I want to try, some altcoin client ect ect, hence you want to have a sandbox, and antivirus to be safe in some cases, and the software I mentioned previously are doing just fine for me, the last time I had a virus was in 2004 and then it was my fault for downloading a crap ton of garbage and installing it at the time

I keep using it all the time and it's not slowing down my computer. I think even free version gives enough security. I don't really have any problem.

Exactly this. I am using Avast for a long time. Never had any problems with it. It is not intrusive. Does work done and by any means slows your PC. If you having problems it mus be something more than avast to cause that behaviour.

[softron]

I use microsoft security essentials

Avast,this one is awesome.

I would celebrate the day when the Windows monopoly for video games is taken down. I hate Windows more than any other computer-related program or hardware. But still, I am forced to use it.

Use Kaspersky Internet Security 2014. Very affordable and one of the best of its kind out there. I have been using them for almost three years now, and I have never faced any problem. 

+1

Using Kaspersky for last 5 years and impressed by it.

[BiTJack]

I don't use bootlegs, linux is the way to roll. 

[MisterDD]

Your security is on high level. Even if you use free Avast and free Comodo, those are one of best free programs on internet with best free computer antivirus and firewall protection, sometimes even better than some full programs for computer protection.

[bitgeek]

I have to say best software is Linux, never had any security issues with it, while on another PC with Windows it's a constant struggle. I'm using Comodo on my Win 7 - it's good.
