Up until virusgate, Windows / router firewall and were the only anti-malware I used. Trying bitdefender at the moment, seems to work unobtrusively and though I doubt I will get another virus anytime soon (insert jinx here) it's nice to have that extra layer of defence.Dog Pants wrote:However, the best way to not get a virus is to avoid dodgy internets. Don't go to shady download or porn sites, be very careful about stuff you torrent, don't go opening or following links from spam. Have your firewall turned on and configured on your router. If you're savvy then your AV should really be just a goalkeeper to watch out for unexpected Javascript exploits and stuff. And you can be safe in the knowledge that 90% of people out there are softer targets than you.
Also, I'm more worried about Detrimental being on my network, might have to put a few limiters on him...
