Does anyone know any good virus protection software for windows. I am willing to spend money but not a million dollars. Any suggestions?

Windows Defender works great for the moment. Just don't visit shady websites.

Well if you must, Kaspersky is top notch.

Personally wouldn't recommend Kaspersky. I use Avast (free) and Malwarebytes (its pretty cheap compared to any other antivirus). Malwarebytes is probably one of the best at staying up to date with the latest threats.

If i get both, do they interfere with each other?

They all, *all* suck.

Hard.

AV is not your first line of defense. It's your last line of defense, when everything else has failed, you *hope* AV will catch something.

 

Here's how to solve the virus issue for good

 

(1) Run heavy ad-blockers on your browser. uBlock Origin, Ghostery, Flashcontrol, Decentraleyes, HTTP Everywhere.

(2) Run as a limited user.

(3) Don't download random shit off the internet. If you have to do that, spin up a VM and do it there.

(4) Run a real-time malware scanner, like superantispyware or malwarebytes.

(5) dump AV scanner because it's not needed.

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.

if you're actually willing to pay for a good anti-virus, look into getting ESET Nod32
