Ahhhh, did I step on your wittle bitty toes. Need you diaper changed?You guessed incorrectly. But, then, you've most likely done that your entire life, and you'll continue to do that as you progress into your teens.Let me guess, you swallowed the "Linux can't be hacked" propaganda hook line and sinker but know almost nothing about computers. Have a nice life.

I use Avast as an anti-virus and Malwarebytes as an anti-malware. I also use Malwarebyte's free Anti-Exploit real time (zero day) browser protection.
These I use on my Windows machines, unlike some people I know my Linux machines are vulnerable so I use the firewall and just discovered Comodo makes an AV for Linux, giving it a try.
So does ESET, I run anti-virus on this Linux machine. Most attacks these days are browser exploits, and will hit Linux just as fast as Windows,.

I have decided that (for now) I will just stay with Windows OS.
This lap top is new (to me) just got Windows Office on it and Adobe (which "forced" me to get McAfee) - did not have to pay for it. So now I have Avast, McAfee and expired Norton on my system. What a mess!
You can opt out of the McAfee malware. When you install Adobe, simply uncheck the box to install McAfee with it.
Consider switching to Foxit, Adobe engages in unethical behavior by installing unwanted software.

Zero-Day Flaw Found in 'Linux Kernel' leaves Millions VulnerableDon't need anti virus software if running Linux.Ummmm, just discovered Avast makes a free Linux version.

Probably a residual from when you installed it. They call it ESET endpoint now, and it is 64 bit.

I think I trust Ringel - I'll give him a call when I'm ready to make changes...
You definitely can trust Ringel. He knows his stuff.

I appreciate the thumbs up but I can guarantee Uncensored, Iamwho, Harry and a couple of others probably know a whole lot more about this stuff than I do, I believe they do it for a living. Comparatively I'm a low level geek, they speak Geekinese fairly fluently.......I think I trust Ringel - I'll give him a call when I'm ready to make changes...

Webroot. It rocks!I had Norton forever, but, doesn't seem to work.
Avast was suggested to me so I am using that now.
What do you use? Are any of them really any good?

I had McAfee antivirus, but it expired a few months ago and I haven't renewed it yet. Guess I should probably take care of that!

I just basically stay away from "questionable" sites. That's worked for me so far.

Are you crazy? Trust no one here!!!
Lol!
That is by far the best "anti-virus" there is - yourself.I just basically stay away from "questionable" sites. That's worked for me so far.
I have told many people I would not be afraid to use a computer daily on the internet with NO anti-virus. No problem.
I would not however get on the internet without "anti-malware" like Malwarebytes or Spybot.
Viruses are actually very rare, and rarely work. Spyware and malware on the other hand are everywhere, and will do more damage to you than most viruses.
People have been protecting their computers against the wrong thing for yeatrs.
