Internet Security for Dell Laptop? [POLL]

[ajgamer1]

Hey. As you are aware Dell ships their laptops (Windows Installed) with Mcafee Security Software.

 

Do you recommend continuing Mcafee or do you recommend uninstalling it and using other alternatives?

 

Please recommend wisely.

 

Work: Picture Editing, Financial, PayPal Access, Bank Account Access, Social Networking and Casual Movie/Video Downloading.

 

I want to defend myself from Malwares, Viruses, Trojans or any other variants of these which can destroy my work.

 

Thanks

You dont really need software security, common sense and an ad blocker is usually enough (Dont click on shady links, take care if torrenting, ect).

i would recomend nuking macafree because its sthi and installing Avast maybe and malwarebytes. i recomend those two because Avast is good at finding Trojans from my experience and malwarebytes goes ham on any malware

Have you ever tried ESET Nod 32? I am personally using Eset Nod on my every other setups (which aren't laptops so I had option to install anything). What do you think about ESET Nod 32?

True. I agree with you. But you know few people are not technically well. My cousin is not so much well in securing her stuff from it.

 

So I always advise her precaution is better than cure.

I use iternetsecurity 360 which is free. No problems so far

Have you watch John macafee's guide to remove macafee on YouTube?

If its for her, then I would get Bit defender out of those. Many other types anti-virus software arent very effective andare very resource intensive with their scans (Especially McAfee).

Haha. Why? I don't know though. Please explain.

I use bitdefender and malwarebytes.

I'm running Nod32 and Malwarebytes.

 

Bitdefender is good as well, I've just had issues with a previous version on another laptop. I went with NOD because I've used it before and I've had no complaints with it.

ESET is good, but don't pay money for it.  If you can get it for free (I could when I worked at Best Buy and Microcenter) then it's great.  Otherwise, just use Avast or AVG.  Arguably you don't even need those if you browse smart. Malwarebytes and Windows Defender is generally enough.
