What anti-virus program do you use? - Skryptec - 04-14-2016
Hello everyone,
What anti-virus program do you use?
I need this for a little project.
Thanks,

Malwarebytes Pro + Avast (on Windows)

None. I'm not an idiot, and an anti-virus won't protect me from any exploits anyways.

No control offers 100% assurance, but I found that Malwarebytes (Pro version) + another AV like Avast provide decent protection against the 'drive-by' malware threats. If you get targeted, then yeah, AV is of no use.
When friends/family ask me for recommendation, I always recommend Malwarebytes Pro+Avast. Nobody I know got owned by ransomware yet.

True,
The best antivirus is yourself. (When you know how to avoid & remove them)

I recommend Malwarebytes MBAM & MBAE.

Remember that these are Anti-Malware products, and not AVs.
I have to agree with your recommendation here, they both serve their purpose well.

AVG free antivirus. The best antivirus there probably is.
Spoiler: Sarcasm
I have always liked avast but I hate that it's pretty heavy on resources.
