best antivirus as of today

[FireFox]

MSE is said to be shit ever since the release of Win 8... :(

 

Really, I've never used it so I didn't really know what to say about it

I use NOD 32 by ESET. Frequent daily updates, no interruptions when playing a game, (Far as I know) no false positives, fastest scanner.

Microsoft Security Essentials is what I use. It's not the greatest thing in the world, I'll admit that, but it's free and it scans pretty much everything that is downloaded the moment you download it, along with the standard antivirus protection.

Screw norton and mcafee

MalwareBytes & Kaspersky(came free with my V Extreme mobo lolol)

[ThePointblank]

Sophos Anti-virus. You can only get a multi-computer license, as it is oriented towards small buisness and enterprise usage.

No, it isn't.

Well, those who say that common sense / brain is their AV, then good luck.

 

Nowadays it does not matter if you download stuff from unknown sources or just browser your everyday web. Threats are everywhere, and before you know it, your favorite news website gets you infected thru Flash player exploit (example). It's as simply as that, you do not need to click anywhere or install anything.

 

Yes, of course you can say that you keep your software up-to-date, but no software will ever be secure from 0-day exploits/vulnerabilities.

It's not that AV is mandatory, but some sort of security software should be in place in my opinion.

Then just use Microsoft Security Essentials. It doesn't install a bunch of stuff that you don't need, and it's in my opinion, the best AV software for being free.

Let's see how well your brain does as I sneak a batch file into your start up programs

I saw a good review of some antivirus software, both free and paid, in an issue of PC & Tech Authority. Avast blocked 95-99% of day zero and known threats, on par with or better than some of the "best" paid antivirus programs out there. I'd recommend that

Use comodo correctly and you will be fine...

You still need common sense though.

Let him run a virus scan and MBAM and we'll see how many bank details have been phished from him.
