Interesting to see what kind of AV people use.
Whether people use paid or free av and whatnot.

I do but I have them turned off until I turn them on. I have Eset nod32, Kaspersky, Norton 2013 360, and Bitdefender.

I usually never turn them on, I do a normal every week to month scan.

I currently don't have any 'protection' that I am using - but that's because I haven't/won't download anything named 'FreeMSPPointsGeneratorsJPG.EXE'.

i genuinely don't but I am in-fact getting MB right now.

I don't see the point in not having anti-virus. There are really no negatives, and you are preventing a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Antiviruses:
  • Don't respect your privacy
  • Aren't fully configurable
  • Use a shitton of CPU cycles and memory
  • Won't catch any new viruses

Dem negatives.

I use AVG simply because all I have to do is temporarily disable it to download and execute certain programs.
Most of the time it's disabled haha.

AVG does very well actually. The best out of all. Norton is bull-shit. Literally. I mean it only looks good because of the GUI and the rest is just bull.

I had a friend who didn't, so I injected a RAT on his system. Now he uses an AV like all good people do.
