So much $$$ on Anti virus yet we are still infected!!

[mikael_schiffer]

I have KIS 2013 and Malwarebytes . Both original maal 100% . Spent more than Rs3000 since November last year, on these protection software, yet i am regularly infected by irritating trojans and worms and malaria what not shits . There was i time when i used to rely on free software like AVG Free and demo software from CHip Dvd (install, after 30 day expiry,uninstall and Install again forever). And when i started shelling out real money now i seem to realize THAT these paid software are bullshit. Right now i have a virus/trojan/hijacker thingie called "Onewebsearch". blooody keeps popping new ads and windows at random. I tried every procedure to remove it through google researching yet this thing exists.

Now WTF is my precious KIS which stands for Kasperesky "INTERNET" "Security" doing? Bloody the only thing it does is pester me everyday for updates . I have Malwarebytes too,known to be best antispyware, but the only thing this crapware detects is CD KEYS and KEY GENS of games. SO FAR NEITHER OF THEM HAS EVER DETECTED ANYTHING DANGEROUS OR REMOTELY POTENTIALLY HARMFULL OBJECT. WHY IS MY LAPTOP SLOW? WHY DOES DRIVERS GO CORRUPT AT RANDOM? WHY DOES STUPID BOOKMARKS,LINKS AND EXTENSIONS KEEP POPPING UP IN MY BROWSER???YEAH SHIFT KEY FTW CUZ IM PISSED !!CAPS LOCK FURY IS NOTHING, ITS HOLD-DOWN-SHIFT-KEY FURY RIGHT NOW!!

These software companies are bunch of capitalist conspirators who are leeching our money ever since Windows went global. Bloody for every damn virus there is a separate software for it.They will scan nicely, show all the viruses and its potential for damage, and BAM!!!! BUY TO REMOVE!!!!
MOFOS SOFTWARE COMPANIES Y U MINDFCK SO MUCH Y U NO MAKE ONE COMPLETE SOLUTION !!! . I WILL FOREVER PIRATE UR SOFTWARES HERE ONWARDS ----GUTTI KHA ---SAALA

Ever since i left the piracy world and entered a world of honesty, Computer Gods have been cruel to me Its like "kaam accha karo,toh aur pachhtao" There is simply NO motivation to buy original software... KARMA is dead in Computer world.
What a horrible way to start a week >_<

god helps those who help themselves

i don't know what your issue is but not even the best antivirus & antimalware can protect you if you don't follow certain basic guidelines/precautions & go by common sense when browsing the web.both kaspersky & malwarebytes are top notch softwares & if you are still getting infected then i suggest it is time to review your browsing habit & things you download.even among pirated content there are 2 categories:clean & infected & which one you get depends upon your knowledge level.

I thinks mods will give u an infraction

BTW my laptop runs fine with KIS 2013

 

[dashing.sujay]

^lol why do you think so ?

@mikael - If you use the system with right "sense" of security, nothings gonna affect you. I update my antivirus onnce in 2-3 months, and malwarebytes once when i remember. After reading your post, I remembered that my malwarebytes definition is 193 days old .

It's been 5 year, and I'm yet to see an infection in my system.

PS: I use ESET Smart security. give it a try.

If Google can't help you technically on Onewebsearch, none can't.
I use this Kingsoft Antivirus 2012 user reviews and ratings - CNET Download.com along with AVG. So far, so good.

Are you using Adblock on your browser, coz most of the malware gets installed by the careless clicks on the popping ads on a site..

 

[meetdilip]

Having a security guard on gate won't make the home theif proof. You should be cautious on what to install, what to browse etc. Stay aways from pirated software, you will be doing yourself a favour. There are enough good freeware alternative available these days.

 

[baiju]

I am using Avast Free antivirus for years and no infection yet.

Install lunix

stop watching porn ( impossibruah to do but if you want to stay safe do it) , downloading pirated softwares, visiting adf.ly or similar sites and websites with pop-up floods.

 

[arijitsinha]

Remember one thing, Each and Every anti virus is allways one step behind the coder who code viruses. Once a virus caught, then only its cure can be released. Main source of trojans/malwares/worms are p0rn sites and game cracks. Try to stay away from them. Instead of spending 3000 on Security suite, if you spend that on original games, chances of getting infected will be less.

Anyway, I am not really happy with KIS 2013. few days back I bough it, but sometime it is hogging a high cpu usage. Really irritating. Previously I was using 6 months trial of Norton 360/McAfee. IMO they were far better than paid AV.

 

[avinandan012]

if paid go for Norton

 

[avichandana20000]

i am running my PC for years WITHOUT ANY AV / IS. No issue at all.

 

[Zangetsu]

@OP: if u r not satisfied with KIS then try other good AV even free ones will keep ur pc protected just make sure to update the definitions (atleast weekly).

for paid version I suggest u once try Bitdefender Internet Security 2013 (which is far better than KIS..IMHO)
and uninstall MBAM after u install bitdefender (coz it has excellent malware protection)

 

[ratul]

OP, you should definitely review your browsing pattern and work on it, i have the same setup for last 5 years as you have KIS2013 and MBAM, but i haven't seen a virus till date which can penetrate this protection, reason: safe and intelligent computing...
we all watch p0rn and i haven't encountered any p0rn site affected with virus, coz i have some "trusted" sites which i visit, not clicking on those ads popping up and all, and the most basic form of infection is USB devices from our friends or from somewhere else, for those KIS does a pretty good job..
Last time i got seriously infected was 5 yrs ago before i switched to kaspersky, was watching those "hack fb account" vids on youtube, disabled norton that i had that time, downloaded s/w they provided and BAM, every exe in my pc was infected, but that was my foolishness, so see only a user's defective usage pattern can cause infections, use intellectually, stay safe..
you have paid for KIS, so stick with it, it's one of the best out there and far more consistent than bitdefender, who only has given problems to all i've recommended... though KIS2013 is a resource hog but if you have a decent pc, there's nothing to worry about, i never notice it's there on my laptop..

 

[d3p]

I'm using 650bucks Escan Total Security from last 2yrs & i haven't seen virus or infection or anything weird for almost 4yrs now. Earlier i was with McAfee Total Protection [used to cost me 2k for 3 license].

Yeah, the best precaution will be

-> Stop browsing crack wares/hack wares, use genuine Torrent Sites & torrent files for movies, songs & Games [Possibly read the comment before dowloading].
-> P0rn Sites
-> Restrict the usage of freeware getting from Chip or Digit DVD's. Do a basic research before using any freewares. Sometimes freewares are also responsible & might be a Keylogger or something similar.
-> Maintain a clean storage policy. Keep a check on the data you store on your HDD.

Now run some antivirus software and start counting viruses.lol.

@O.P:Im using Kis 13 and i dont face any problems.
One drawback of Kis is that its very resource hungry.Other than that its Okay

Same here, and I do use lot of virus infected pen drives. You just need to follow some rules while using them on XP like turning off auto-run and making protected hidden files visible, opening pen drives from adress-bar, looking out for *.exe, *.ini. It does work. I run demos of Kasperski & Malwarebytes once 6-7 months and find 1-2 malwares. I've formatted only once in last 6 years bcoz of virus.

 

[Anorion]

I thinks mods will give u an infraction

Yep, should na

No av here as well, don't need. Very careful about usb hygiene, my class pcs are infested with the latest and greatest. Have a bunch of usbs only for use on other machines.

When i used to use, trusted f-secure because of the way they handled sobig.f they co-ordinated with agencies around the world and shut down the servers the virus contacted. Trend micro was also on top of the game. Donno abt recent activities
