Thread 106986651

Alright, what are the best antivirus softwares to use now that Microsoft is jewing out with Defender?

>>106986651 (OP)
use avast antivirusnand malwarebyte and unless u do stupid stuff, u should be good to go

>>106986651 (OP)
AVs are literally pointless boomerware on the consoomer level. Just use your brain. Dont run sketchy executables and use a decent firewall. You will be fine then.

>>106986651 (OP)
I've not used an antivirus in years. Do people still fall for the meme nowadays.

>>106986763

Terrible advise. Even a free avast will block undesired web redirects you may otherwise not notice.

I became paranoid after a friend of mine got a ransomware after downloading a plug-in for PS. He's not that kind of stupid booomer who falls for an ad scam, but he fuck up.

After that I subscribe to Kaspersky. 50 local monies per year isn't that bad

What's the best antivirus for Linux?

>>106987173
Nothing a browser extension cannot remedy. You're better off recommending a sandbox if you want to be taken seriously.

>>106987765
I just run McAfee through wine

>>106987173
Use UBlock origen

>>106986763

Based. I run Common Sense 2025 too.

There aren't any "viruses" anymore. All the malicious code that will ever run on your computer will be things you told the computer to run. If the AV trips, you're just going to run the software anyway because false positives are such a normal thing that everything the AV says will be assumed meaningless by then.
Plus it's a really outdated concept in general. I don't know what winfags are even doing which requires specific functionality not provided by the OS or software that has lots of other eyes on it in 2025. The weirdest thing I've needed in the last 10 years was a GameCube iso scrubber and even that program had a clear history of legitimacy behind it.

this level of retard bait is off the charts.
what's up with retarded threads, like massive retard bait lately.

>Your Windows device has virus and threat protection
>Microsoft 365 subscribers get additional protection with Microsoft Defender for individuals
Retard

>>106988268
For the anons who took the clot shot booster and want some level of protection without compromising their PC performance they should just go ahead and install Linux. Alternatively they may try Sandboxie or DeepFreeze or Clean Slate which should revert changes to the system in case they run some code that they never should have.

antivirus is malware

Why hasnt anyone made a clamav wrapper antivirus?

>>106988785
Like this?
https://github.com/ivangabriele/clamav-desktop

>>106987754
ClamAV

>>106988785
A GUI was made before but it's no longer in development and doesn't work well anymore.

>>106989610
Yeah well ill just change logo then

>>106986763

>common sense
Which no one has. Everyone depends on experience, and most users are inexperienced until they become experienced. What people should do is inform each other in order to reduce how many inexperienced folks have to learn things the hard way. Education is the real solution. But you faggots don't care and don't contribute anything of worth, but you sure don't mind adding to the internet's enshittification by shitposting.

Windows Defender Antivirus in a nutshell. And then?

>>106989803
Thats bullshit somebody can craft a bad packet and send it to your computer you dong have to do shit and you get pwned.
Specially if you run windows 7.

>>106986651 (OP)
Microsoft Defender. Third-party antiviruses era ended alongside Windows 7.

>>106986763
Sorry bruh im still going to sketchy slav porn sites that somehow manage to get the latest BLACKED videos before they are released.

>>106989734
does clamav even do anything besides signature scanning?

>>106990195
It does heuristics but you have to enable it on the conf. Just found about it today.

>>106989742
Have you heard of this new writing tool they just invented. Apparently it's called punctuation, or something?

>>106989610
He really does live rent free in your head seek help for your TDS it's not healthy

>>106990304
meds

>>106986651 (OP)
Install Gentoo.

Why does Microsoft name everything Defender? Windows Defender is still free, Microsoft Defender is this faggot paid shit.

>>106989879
anon pls

>>106988748
>posted it again award
get a job

wtf kaspersky free doesn't exist any more?

>>106986763
Correct. I had Defender forcibly disabled for the past couple of years, but it re-enabled itself when I updated to 25H2 recently. For fun I thought I'd run a scan and it found... nothing. Only literal retards get infected with malware, which I'll admit does cover a hefty portion of /g/'s userbase.

>>106986651 (OP)
Only retards need active antivirus software, and all retards deserve to get viruses, therefore, fuck off.

>>106991461
You realize that legitimate software had been packaged with malware before, right? It's not out of the realm of possibility for an official software distribution to be compromised by a bad actor.

>>106987173
>undesired web redirects
TPRB and uBlock Origin get the job done.
The only thing I could recommend outside the browser is blocking domains through the .hosts-file.
Stop stacking software upon software ad nauseam.

>>106987173
buddy, AVs are the new malware,they basically exhibit all the signs of it. Even jon McAfee said to avoid that cancerous abomination at all costs because it's a piece of shit

Windows is just an advertising platform now. They have no respect for you
