Hello, I'm new to this forum and I hope to feel welcomed as a new-comer in LinusTechTips .
Anyways, I'd like to focus on if anti-virus is actually a joke. I had a virus on my old computer that just made it very slow and unreliable. My step-brother decided to add an anti-virus software to help clean out the problem but it still did not work. Today, I have what I like to call "A Gaming PC" and I don't want to hurt it . The PC case is a Corsair Spec 02 Case running with a:
CPU
Intel Core i5 4690K @ 3.50GHz 25 °C
Haswell 22nm Technology RAM
8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 666MHz (9-9-9-24) Motherboard
MSI H97 PC Mate(MS-7850) (SOCKET 0) Graphics
2757 (1920x1080@60Hz)
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti (EVGA) Storage
232GB Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250G SCSI Disk Device (SSD
Continuing it is running with a Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit.
I just got off topic lol, anyways I have an Anti-Malware Software and a CCleaner software. Would these be considered the best or the worse for protecting my computer?
