Just stay away from the Asians that trade sex for living space... (this is a joke about advertisements that I've actually seen)

 

You don't really need much. Just download MalwareBytes free, it should be good enough.

Even for a mac you should run an antivirus, windows will have windows defender by default.

 

There is no "gaming" antivirus.

Common Sense is good, as is Windows Defender & MalwareBytes as backup.

 

Seriously, don't go around clicking every download button you see, that's a great way to avoid viruses.

I highly reccomend Avast antivirus, it has a game mode so you aren't constantly getting notifications.

I play games - Look at my profile for specs

I love memes. I make bad memes, but I like dank memes, who doesn't?

I am good at editing videos and pictures, feel free to message me if you would like some work done.

 

Thanks!
