Best antivirus?

[elrippo]

I use Linux  

best comment ever.  

why dun chose Smadav, antivirus made by indonesia.
not bad

Well, Redmond products inherit a virus, so why buy the virus and have the pain to also pay for the medicine  

I think he just did not have a choice.

I have never needed any antivirus since Windows Defender. It's all you need right now.

some viruses can not be solved by windows defender.
thats antivirus not strong

The best protective measure (IMO as important as having an antivirus on the computer) is common sense and being careful in choosing what to download and what not to download, IMO avira and avast are very decent and have free versions but if you are ready to pay then maybe kaspersky and NOD32

[chalkboard99]

kaspersky is strong and was good while used it, now expensive and hard to get cracked so using avast

[elrippo]

I will stick to Linux 

[shadoww1313]

Panda is strong one

Kaspersky

Antivirus sucks. Stay away from this type of software.

The security of the computer is responsible user and updated OS, browser and other softwares. BTW, some antivirus like Avast add their own SSL certificate into the OS and execute a MITM attack on HTTPS websites in order to scan the content.

AVG sends your personal information to third parties with commercial/advertising purposes.

I use ESET. It's pretty cool.

[Funny]

Windows firewall IMO. That's all I use.

I dont personally use antivirus. I run multiple os's in a quad-boot setup. Any downloading of 'suspicious' files I do within a virtual machine, and only after thorough testing do I transfer to my main OS's.  (just for clarification win10, OSX 10.10.5, Ubuntu 12.04, kali 2.0 on a gateway laptop)

The user's  brain is the best antivirus. Just avoid to download and install crappy things.
In any case you are not 100% sure on what you download, you always could use virustotal.com and see if it is a legit software or not.

Kaspersky

[avikz]

Kaspersky Internet Security is the best...you don't need malwarebytes with this one.

this answer would always be different with the changing times.
