Windows 10: View Poll Results: What antivirus are you using?

Thanks.. trying this one out Steph!!

 

On my main desktop I use Eset Smart Security, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium and Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit(free). On my other desktop and my laptop I use Eset Smart Security, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware(free) and Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit(free). On my Win 10 Insider preview and my wife's laptop I use Windows Defender, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware(free)and Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit(free). I also do a occasional scan with Superantispyware(free).

 

I use Windows Defender, Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit(free), Spywareblaster, Winpatrol and Privacy Badger.
Sometimes changing anti-virus to Avira free.

 

Started off with McAfee (came pre-installed with the PC), however it bashed up my PC real bad. So uninstalled it and went for Avast (Free edition) works like a charm *Smile

 

Hmm, I had McAfee preinstalled and the malware scan kept freezing. I can't be doing with AV that fails in any way, so it had to go. Now using Emsisoft Anti Malware paid. It also blocks hosts that are used for advertising or tracking purposes. Brilliant.*Smile

 

AVG Internet Security 2016. Malewarebytes Premium. Spybot. Advanced System Care 9.1 Pro.

Whenever I have a new machine of any descrition, the first thing I do is remove Norton (and symantec folder) and McAfee if loaded.

 

Bitdefender & Malware Anti-Malware.

 

I just use Windows Defender these days, I keep a copy of malware bytes around in case I feel I need a additional scan but have yet to run into this. Honestly I have not had any virus problems since I stopped torrenting years ago and using mass software downloads from Ninite.com. Good browsing habits + Defender+ good firewall configuration = A stable and secure system

 

TrustPort Antivirus 2015.

 

Bitdefender 2015 Maximum Security no complaints and runs smoothly than ever.

 

It's the heuristics that scan each and every file after folder scan. It will see if any MD5 hash is identical to the database and then flag it as malware.

 

I am using Windows defender now

 

I have changed my initial vote because I am now running Qihoo 360 TSE.

PS. LOL I went back to WD. 360TSE is good but it's also the king of false positives. It even deleted Firefox yesterday...

 

Eset. If it involves money etc, Linux.

 

New Win 10 computer came with McAfee LiveSafe. Immediately uninstalled it and enabled Defender.

In addition to MSE or Defender I also have MBAM real time on my other machines. Those all have lifetime keys and I am not thrilled with paying a yearly fee if I want it on this rig. I could run the free version of MBAM daily but wonder if there is anything at all equivalent to it, that is free? I don't think so but if anyone has thoughts. I don't think any of the other free AVs such as Avira or Avast have the, for lack of a better term, extra or different protection that MBAM offers.
