Fist: Everyone should reinstall windows when they buy a new PC Show Second: if you are not willing to pay, use Windows defender, it is not so bad. Third: if you are going to pay: bitdefender or Kaspersky are for sure top-notch. You have to know that when you install an antivirus, you hand over everything. It’s matter of trust, so don’t take it so lightly. Similar to this post
r/pcmasterrace Posted by i7 7700k | STRIX GTX 1080 8GB | 16GB Vengeance 7 months ago Archived  Hey guys I'm looking to download some sort of antivirus software for my computer. i have tried to look online but most websites seem to be paid advertisements for Norton and McAfee, so I don't know who to trust. Please let me know if you have any recommended software, and how your experience has been with them. Thanks This thread is archived New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast level 1 · 7 mo. ago i5-6500 | RX 480 | 16GB DDR4-2133 Use the one that comes with Windows. level 1 Windows Defender is absolutely good enough. Just don’t download random shit. level 1 Malwarebytes or eset online if you think you have a virus. Windows defender is all you should need if you're not a boomer. level 2 What are boomers doing that needs something more? level 1 · 7 mo. ago RTX3080, i7 12700k, DDR4 2x16GB +1 for a periodic scan with Malwarebytes. Just run the scan whenever you visited a shady website or downloaded some things you don't 100% trust level 2 · 7 mo. ago 3900x | 32GB RAM | 6800 XT Sorry but with that logic you've already been compromised and a scan is too late. A scanner gets rid of viruses yeah, but it doesn't prevent them from happening in the first place. Also there are viruses out there that aren't detected by any scanner, such as one of the Discord token stealing apps that bypassed virustotal's scan of the .exe. That's something like 65 vendors that didn't pick up that it was a virus. level 1 · 7 mo. ago 3700X | 1080 Ti | 32gb 3600 CL14 As people say, Windows Defender is built into win10. What you could (should, really) add manually are adblockers for Chrome (or whichever browser you use. The ones that have worked well for me are uBlock Origin together with Adblock Pro and Poper Blocker (blocks pop-ups etc). This is since the majority of viruses/trojans/keyloggers and malware comes from malicious webpages. level 1 Windows Defender and common sense is more than enough. There are free antiviruses but most are basically spyware and/or nagware. Bitdefender is one of the worst in that regard. level 1 · 7 mo. ago 3900x | 32GB RAM | 6800 XT Windows Defender is good enough for the most part nowadays, that may change but for now it's seemingly fine. My old go-to was Avast mixed with Comodo Firewall. The downside of Comodo firewall is it's so thorough that it gets annoying, and you end up just allowing the virus through sometimes out of habit of selecting approve. In the end user error is more likely to be the cause of a virus than anything else, including visiting shady websites etc. level 1 As a lot will say, cybersecutity is 70% common sense 30% anti-virus doing shit, no anti-virus will help if you aren't responsible level 1 Windows AV is fine and use Malware bytes too. level 1 As everyone said, Windows defender. Also set up an admin account that has all the admin rights, and remove your admin rights from your account level 1 ive just used avg free since like 2005. seems to do alright. the file and behavior shields are a little overbearing sometimes tho level 1 Windows defender + common sense Which Free antivirus is best for Windows 10?Here is a list of our top picks for Free Antivirus Windows 10:.
