You do not need anything other than Windows Defender given that you practice some "Duh" rules, like don't download from random untrusted sights, don't click on popups and don't open random .exe's. If you don't think you can do that, you should probably get a Mac instead.

All antiviruses are scams that are robbing out of your money. They are worse than Windows Defender. no company will be able to protect your OS better than the OS based antivirus.

ESET is an absolute beast of a antivirus, cheap and easy, and i tested it with around 6 viruses, instantly warned me and delete the viruses on just matter of seconds, and plus, no stupid ads that lead you to an official antivirus website that will tell you to download it, like its staring through your eyes.

Honestly, I use ClamAV on both Windows (when I absolutely can’t avoid using it) and Linux. It is a fine, open source antivirus intended originally for mail servers that doesn’t spam adverts everywhere (in part due to often running on systems without screens). On Windows, ClamWin (which provides a scanner for the user to use) and Clam Sentinel (for automatic use of said scanner) is enough for basic protection (if paired with the usual requirement of decent judgment, always using the download button that looks least like a download button, and keeping up to date).

You realize Windows Defender is literally better ? Do you also realize that at some point Norton added a crypto mining tool into Norton, what happens is if you have the higher end subscription you can use it to mine crypto in a user friendly way and get money, cool right ? Well, maybe,won't say it's cool since that's so weird for an AV software, but whatever; the problem is that even if you don't have that subscription, for an unknown reason the crypto mining tool is installed anyway. And guess what since it's been added people have reported that Norton has been even more of a ressource hog than it was before, weird huh ?

@@imnota I mean on my pc Norton has never been a resource hog in any way even when running scans (currently it's using less than 50MB of ram and uses fewer cpu cycles than MSI afterburner [which itself rarely spikes over .04%]) and it certainly never uses my CPU or GPU to any degree even when idle. I understand that a program suddenly having a crypto miner might be worrying to some but considering I actively use Norton and closely monitor my PC's performance, active programs and background tasks the people spouting this nonsense clearly aren't actual users of Norton or are clueless about how their PC's actually work.

@@gmdking Definitions:

Freeware is actually different from free software if you cared about Linux for so long. Freeware means "free software even if proprietary code" while Free Software means "free software, and freely accessible, reusable and distributable source code".

Shareware is usually free and shareable software but oftentimes meant to be sold. Think of it as a demo or free trial, but almost all of the functionality is accessible (with or without a trial period).

Malware is a type of software that uses malicious code to wreak havoc to the end-user. While common in the early days, nowadays malwares usually targets much more well-known people (such as YouTubers and the RAT situation).

Scareware is self explanatory, it is software designed to use scare tactics to upsell an useless product or service.

Warez is a colloquial term for pirated software, i.e pirated games, cracked applications and the like. It was heavily used in the 80s to early 2000s (iirc) to mention the pirated software as well as the group behind the crack.

Edit: luckily my pc don't bring any pre-installed antivirus

@@gmdking i use mcafee but it's actually pretty brilliant at protecting my pc and i havent really every gotten a notification from the app leaving the monthly scans but other than that it doesnt really seem like malware

@@90ioel it's not malware it just sends stupid fake notifications to ur pc or laptop

Same my school chrome book said it had a virus and my iPad did too! And it was mcafee and I almost had a heart attack but after I found out about this I was happy I didn’t have a virus!

bruh its the fake mcafee if you dont see, if your school uses mcafee then it should be the official one there's 100+ fake anti viruses that pretends to be the real ones.

It's not a virus. It's not malware. It's just adware and bloatware combined with minimum functionality.

That is McAfee enterprise (now called Trellix) and is safe to use.


My god, they were already a meme for having their software shoveled onto new PCs, and now they resort to this crap? #crapware

I absolutely burst into laughter on the ransomware mimicker notification...<br>It's sad, saying "no" to notifications should be default net behavior... but why this is legal and happily allowed by web browsers is beyond me..

"money" Ad revenue makes corporations a lot of money. Even if the ad is garbage/includes shit that is bad. Ahem google is the worse with it's ad sense. shit is used by practically everyone now days.

@@katsudon2048 this is a perfectly reasonable thing to complain about. it's one thing if scam operators do this, but reputable companies have <b>no business</b> pulling these stunts. it is unethical and immoral. it rightly should be illegal. good case to argue for false advertisement and fraud since the only "infection" here is the serviceworker for their stupid notifications. there's no excuse for this kind of behavior, and it's one of the many so-called "dark patterns" crafted explicitly with the intent of manipulating and misleading users into actions they wouldn't normally commit to.

Spamming someone with notifications costs barely anything at all. Not even a fraction of a cent. Even if only 0.01% of people actually click on it and buy the product, you can still turn a profit.

You do not need a high click per impression rate to turn a profit when the cost per impression is that low.


Wow our school has McAfee pre-installed on their computers.


Me, running a gradle build to download dependencies,

I will just use Firefox and after I quit it shows a notification for me to put Kaspersky into Firefox even if I already have it.With chrome too. Only if you use the browser though.But after I saw this video better than McAfee

Idk what's with the avast free version slander I have used avast for my whole life (free) and I have never had an issue with it removing viruses or being "nagging"

Like just check the comments around here you will se plenty complaining

@@NebulaTheOfficial I also downloaded Avast "Free" Antivirus once. It was the worst antivirus I have ever seen. It told me to buy premium 24/7, used 100% ram and cpu, and completely fried my pc. I had to delete it immediately. And plus you probably use a older version of avast.


Norton used to be solid, but about a year ago I think, they redid the app and now it just spams messages saying to upgrade for pc optimization and crypto mining services and wierd stuff like that.


I used to use Norton Security from 2015-2020 and that's when I realized it slowed down my computer too much, forced me to pay more, and took a lot of disk space. Now I am using Trend Micro to see if it is any better and I am not likely to use an antivirus next year as I use another computer a lot and I am fine without an anti-virus on it.

@@NebulaTheOfficial I remember trend micro. they had hands in alot of shit including mainboard manufacture's driver disks. it was hot garbage then.

Anti Viruses are usually shit
Windows Defender goated
Only anti viruses I've seen w decent reviews are Malwarebytes and.. yea that's kinda it
