UnPrePared_ Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Malware bytes. It search virusses like a virus and removes them work very good 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Headband)(EG) Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Honestly just use Windows Defender and MWB. If you are going to get an AV anyway just stay from McAffee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadlock Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Malwarebytes, Spybot Search and destroy, CCcleaner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Short Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Don't be dumb, but for those times out of your control, win 8.1 defender and malwarebytes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooky1010 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Okay since everyone suggested malware bytes im gonna get that one and try it out! edit: should i get the free one or torrent the full version Edited June 12, 2014 by Spewky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The_Monkey Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Okay since everyone suggested malware bytes im gonna get that one and try it out! edit: should i get the free one or torrent the full version Thanks for asking me, since you know, I was the one who told you to get antivirus. I choose avast plus spybot. If you don't have a router, you need a firewall as well. Also, if you feel you have been heavily affected by malware, a software firewall will help you stop their callbacks. For software firewalls, I've always leaned on zone alarm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajolt Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Bitdefender hands down if you have the money. It protects EVERYTHING. Facebook protection, wallet protection, firewall. Interface is awesome. It lets me know that its blocking portscans on my computer so that I can get that taken care of. I also have malwarebytes just cuz I never scan with my actual AV. If you have no money then avast is great for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have no money then avast is great for free. Are you not behind a router? How in the fuck are you getting port scanned if you are? NAT is your first (not greatest) line of defense against aggressors from the wild. Then it doesn't matter if they port scan your router. I was only suggesting a personal firewall if he is super retarded and not behind a router. Also, facebook/wallet protection seems a bit of a facade. If you want wallet protection (what they call wallet protection is actually internet identity protection; a place to store usernames and passwords), use KeePass. Facebook protection sounds kind of funny. How the fuck do you protect facebook? It is a website. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajolt Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Are you not behind a router? I'm behind a modem/router combo, and it should have a firewall on it but yet I'm still getting portscanned. Facebook protection sounds kind of funny. How the fuck do you protect facebook? It is a website Not exactly sure how this works, this is an article on it. http://www.pcworld.com/article/235128/protect_yourself_on_facebook_with_bitdefender_safego.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vao Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Used them all, avg, avira, nod32, bitdefender, avast etc. I'd recommend NOD32 or Avira. Also learning how viruses work and how to remove them manually is also pretty important. Edited June 12, 2014 by Vao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly sure how this works, this is an article on it. http://www.pcworld.c...der_safego.html If you are behind a router and are getting port scanned then you need to assess your router situation. You ought to go out and buy a router and have your ISP set your router/modem combo to passthrough/bridge mode. As far as a facebook app to protect you from facebook....that is like wearing a condom on your oven mitt to protect you from the oven. This is a ploy to get your money.

For software firewalls, I've always leaned on zone alarm. i didnt feel like bothering a council god with my puny peasant problems so i just made a topic. btw i just checked and somehow my firewall was turned off, that kinda makes sense because i usually dont have that much malware and stuff.. so i just torrented malwarebyte premium version, ran a scan and deleted some shit it found. now my pc is working better than ever! thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The_Monkey Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 so i just torrented malwarebyte premium version, ran a scan and deleted some shit it found. now my pc is working better than ever! thanks guys LOL! Makes me wonder what else got installed with malware bytes. So now, instead of the Russians reading whatever it is you do on your computer, the Chinese be all up in that bitch. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean71596 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Microsoft Security Essentials is pretty awesome and it's free. you know microsoft doesn't even make this anymore right? I tend to just go for AVG and malwarebytes for the hard scrubbing Also advanced systemcare is VERY nice; it's like all those shitty ads you always see on TV promising to fix your PC, but it actually does, and it's free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkMonotone Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Tell that to our dev servers that got infected the other day. Yeah, well, it's solid for basic computer defense and you should also realize that regardless of what protection you have, NOTHING is 100% protected from viruses.
