good virus protection for windows 7?

[yaBeh8ater]

kinda ot but i wanted to ask.

the last time i bought some virus protection it was a scam by norton themselves. so ive been leery about buying any kind of protection. but my computer always runs slow and i been thinking maybe its time to upgrade.

I only use ESET Smart Security...nothing else.

Eset or Kaspersky

Anything else is almost worthless and a computer bog.

Some incredible deals on eBay for under $10 for a year.

Also add Malwarebytes for an extra layer of security.

How far is Avast from Eset and Kaspersky?

[rsot]

AVG is no good?

Easy, MacBook Pro

I mean you could just buy an apple.

An apple a day keeps the viruses at bay.

Haha.

I would also recommend ESET or Kaspersky.

I don't even run an antivirus on my computer anymore. I just use malwarebytes and adlbock. Any file you download or any exe file run it by virustotal and you will know if your safe or not.

I recommend eset smart security.

I have been using eset for many years with no problems.

Its fast, updates a few times a day and does not take up a lot of memory.

Eset smart security has a built in firewall which you can customize easily.

You defo NEED antivirus protection and a firewall - especially in this day and age.

Try eset smart security - they have a 30 day free trial - I am sure you will love it

I'd go with Kaspersky for recommendation. I personally do not run any AV because I don't run stupid **** on my computer, I have VMware to do the testing for me.

[cmbhuy]

you can use sandboxie to run all your shady exes

I just use the built in windows defender, i dont go to risky sites in general & dont torrent etc

[madhusky]

I use AVG free for all my computers and work computers because it is free.

[Mitsu]

MSE - Microsoft Security Essentials

free & effective

[vetus]

Kaspersky is solid - think it's Russian built software but it's always been my favourite choice
