When will you guys realize this? Paying for an antivirus is absurd at best. Instead of buying that antivirus for a thousand bucks, donate it somewhere else. At least that's where it'll be worthy
No offense though, anti-viruses discussions are fine. But I can't resist when someone says they bought that shiny new antivirus for $$.
I think the same the person who pay for av is a serious
noobto security world.
I don't use a sophisticated firewall program in my setup. Here is my setup:
1. Avast Free AV: This do basic & regular protection of my system.
2. Sandboxie: I use this for checking remote connection for suspicious files or files like keygen, etc.
3. Malwarebytes Free: This is my monster when everything fail it heuristic scan beats it. It's the best nothing in the world can bypass it's heuristic scan behavior. If you need real time protection you can buy the pro one.
Last but the most important thing my
Brain.
People think a paid antivirus can prevent them from viruses but it's completely false. It will took me 30 minutes to crypt a virus that can
bypassnorton sonar or kaspersky realtime protection.
Other all av's are easy to bypass.
I'm posting a recent scan of my crypted virus:
