Any good antivirus?

[z123killer]

Is there any good free antivirus that doesn't use much memory (I only have 2gigs) and has great security?. I am pretty good with my browsing habits and I currently use MSE and malwarebytes on a 4 year old laptop.

Avast works great, especially when combined with Malwarebytes

MSE  is all I use and I don't get viruses

[Guest Kloaked]

Malwarebytes for prevention and scanning, Bitdefender or Kapersky for removal.

 

There's also the one most people use called Common Sense™

Bitdefender Free + Malwarebytes Anti Malware.

That is one of the best setups you can have for the low low price of nothing.

What if a site has been hijacked and has malware running on it, even if it is good site?

That is the issue with Common Sense

How do you know?

The good viruses are the ones you don't know you have.

I know sometimes my Common Sense™ doesn't detect the issues

That's why I mentioned Malwarebytes, Bitdefender and Kapersky in my post.

I'm not sure you're aware of this, but your text is showing up in a black font. Dark-theme users can barely read your text.

 

If you would, use the 'automatic' setting in the color choices which auto-changes your text color across all themes.

 

If you're copying and pasting, use the 'Paste as plain text' option if you have it (Chrome has it for sure).

[TheMorphinator]

And the main issue with 'trusted' sites are ad networks that get infected and display ads with malware

What if the virus runs under a common Windows DLL name, but is actually the virus + the actual DLL?

You can never be sure you don't have a virus or malware.

I think he meant strong viruses

Most of the time it happens when you copy and paste.

I don't really care what you say anymore as you apparently don't know how to manually check your computer's software, can I be 100% sure no the only thing I'm sure about is that their are no active viruses on my system and since that has been the case for 4 years I think I'm safe to handle it on my own.
