| Built-in Windows defender is as free as it gets; honestly Common Sense, adblock/ublock and Defender on my W7 box gets by and I get no viruses since. |

| I haven't had to install an anti virus is six years, and I've never gotten a virus. It's pretty common sense now not to go to suspicious ass websites and downloading and opening suspicious programs. As long as you don't do any of those, you're relatively safe from getting a virus. |

| Just use build in defender, malwarebytes, ccleaner, adblock (or ublock) and use your common sense. That's all you need to keep your pc clean! :) So don't download a "movie" thats 32mb x) |

| paid: kaspers key free: avast/avira/bitdefender add block plus for google chrome/mozila and if need have a add cleaner |
 |
| Malware Bytes, adblock and common sense is all you need to avoid viruses. It's just not worth paying for anti virus programs imo as you can easily avoid viruses by not downloading or going on sites that seems suspicious. |
 |
| avast all the way~~ |

| I run Malwarebytes and CCleaner. The free version of Malwarebytes has saved my ass a lot more than any paid software has. |

| Ignore everyone here and just get ESET NOD32. - Light (best for gaming) - Rarely gives false positives (easy to navigate Quarantine section regardless) - High customization I look at all kinds of weird crap online and ESET has always held strong. Every time I tried to intentionally bork my system by being way too curious ESET has always btch slapped all the potential threats. |

| I personally use Kaspersky Total Security. It's good, I guess. Never really had the adrenaline of seeing it inaction trying to kill off a virus, though. |

Well i have ESET premium so i should add 1 more thing. -Install ESET -Google ESET keys -Profit What i like about ESET is it's virus database is updated in small size frequently rather then big size at once. |
| Get your free Win10 update ( you can still get it if you choose accessibility options), I just use Defender and free version of Malwarebytes. Never had issues with those two. |
| idk about you but the closer a girl gets to looking like ronald mcdonald, the more aroused i become. CAV where can we cast our eyes to @PoruMairu who thinks of himself a member of the true church. Helion. |
| Tried Kaspersky, Avast etc. then tried Avira and sticked to it combined with Malwarebytes. |

| Norton would be, in my opinion. I used them for years then switched to Bitdefender a year ago and I regret it. Bitdefender has been nothing but an annoying pesky program that often forgets it's own settings, requiring I do everything all over again. |

It makes computers slow (without a hdd) and blocks almost everything :p |
| Panda Free Antivirus, very easy on resources + detection rate has been 100% for a each month / testing. |

| Hello! in my opinion, for household use, it is sufficient to set free antivirus. I also use this Defender http://myspybot.com/jaff-file-virus/ |
| Every Anti-Virus Program can be a Miss. Even Microsoft can fail with its own Defender at making it unexploitable: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/05/windows-defender-nscript-remote-vulnerability/ In Order to search for Threats, Anti-Virus Software has to act like a Rootkit and other Malware themselves, which undermines Security Features such as TLS (formerly SSL) on HTTPS Sites or Browser Sandboxes. That being sad, even with the Possibility that your own Guard can get exploited and turn against you, it's still better to have someone who can warn you instead of it being too late and you knowing nothing about what your Computer does. From the Performance Aspects, it can also be a Hit or Miss, because for some it seems like the Windows Defender is slowing the Computer down while others may have no Problems whatsoever with a certain AV-Program only to have suddenly Issues after an Update. My Advice would be to just use whichever you can use the best and doesn't hinder you much while you pay more Attention with other Things. For Example, to prevent your own AV from crashing through a Scanning Bug, use https://www.virustotal.com/ to scan the Website. Often, there are Links to "go to downloaded file". It may be also wise to temporarily disable the AV to upload a File on VT and to set up the UAC on highest Level with a PW, which is btw. an interesting Alternative to Linux sudo-ing. If I'm not mistaken, Linux fills the Password blank, while Microsoft offers a secure Desktop (when the Desktop fades or when you press Ctrl+Alt+Entf) that isolates the Application from the System. |
