Do you use anti-virus software?

[kluurs]

I use Malwarebytes for protecting from malware and Microsoft Defender.

Interesting... over time I have used/scanned less and less and am now almost of the expectations that Windows 10 and browsers are both pretty darn good at keeping malware and viruses out without needing McAfee or Windows Defender or whatever.

I use Norton

I had some virus years ago and this was the only thing that could stop it.

I forget the virus or the problem

These anti-vaxxers aren't just hurting themselves, they only encourage the virus hackers and hurt all of us

Not using virus prevention software is thoughtless, selfish behavior

Anti-virus software should be mandated

I just rely on the Windows security/ Microsoft Defender, and I haven't had any problems.

Same here. Just bought a new Yoga and immediately turned off the free McAfee.

If you stayed away from all those dodgy web-sites you wouldn't need looking after like some teenager.

McAfee.

That thing's closer to virus than anti-virus.

I'm setting up my new desktop computer. Do you use anti-virus software? Do you regularly scan?

As far as I know, none of my Darwin-based systems has anti-virus software.

I have Windows 10 systems that come with Microsoft Defender. I just leave that alone since I do not use those Windows 10 system all that frequently anyway.
