Head Guru 106 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 What do you use for your computers security software? Do you use free or paid. What have you found works the best for you. I have a paid subscription to McAfee Internet Security which deals with everything, right down to scanning my Outlook 2019 emails. I have found this is the best Security for me. I used to use AVG Free and it was good for a free solution, but I don't think I would ever go back to a free security software now, it is restricted too much in what it does. What are your thoughts and what do you use?

S!r.ReaDy 120 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Quote scanning my Outlook 2019 emails Sounds like a feature I won't agree to have. Come on, give me some privacy. I used ESET Premium for a long time and now using Avast premier. My opinion is that no antivirus will help you. When I re windows I have my tricks, I block some sites, IP, some windows features, and I don't download crap. I also use other lap with linux noly where i save my personal stuff, private data, coding, etc. Windows is just for basic stuff.

It scans attachments within my emails for virus, why wouldn't you want to have a feature like that? Unless you agree and like having virus' trojans etc sent to you via email.

That feature as well *scans* and reads your emails. That was my point. I have many emails related to the company business i work, data, some ID's etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithMan 17 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Using Kaspersky for more then a decade never a problem. Or just switch to Linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linux best option, still there are arguments. Kaspersky takes too much process, Loads system, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niteify 1 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Honestly, don't use any, personally am very aware of what to click and what not to click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithMan 17 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 True, even with Linux you still need to watch on what you "click" , also to install couple of additional browser addons wich will keep you safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theoldm 1 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I used to use Kaspersky since day one, way when it only offer antivirus, but lately it more than trouble than helpful to protect, I just use windows default, and some browser add-on, and then my second PC is freebsd.

Jrock 181 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Avast yet.. been using it well over a decade and it's keep me safe that entire time- no issues whatsoever. Plus, it constantly receives database updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
