I'm curious as to what is the current proper antivirus app to use in this day and age. Avira has stuck by me since back in the days it was the best free one out there. But also i had an ancient system that kaspersky slowed down to a halt. Is avira still good? Kaspersky still on top?What of Eset, bitdefender?? |

Thanks. Will stick to Avira and yes its light on system resources. One of those install and forget. Detection rate is also quite good based on my experience with it over the years.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for occasional scanning too.  Avira comes (or used to come) with ASK Partner Network shyte without telling you. And run Spybot Search and Destroy by Safer-Networking once too for good measure. |

All these usb sticks going around our offices are really doing my head in. So for the pass 6 odd months I'm using SmadAV as an additional Antivirus as well. It works with all other Antivirus softwares. Works well for me.

@ juandon - 12.12.17 - 04:36pm What do you peeps say about ClamAV? 1. I like it, Its free, and open source. 2. I always scan my kids/nephews/friends Usb sticks with it. 3. I like its portable version very much. 4. I have to update it manually, (It a +,- point). I have Malwarebytes antimalware and Avast AV installed, for a regular protection. |

@ juandon - 12.12.17 - 04:36pm What do you peeps say about ClamAV? Lots of false positives. You can see it when having stuff scanned by jotti etc.

There are viruses, trojans, malicious scripts etc. for linux and macos. Usually common sense/secure usage is enough to avoid them.  Usually... But not always...
