Which antivirus software do you use?

[PaulB47]

None. I run Linux (Lubuntu, specifically). Almost no one in the Linux world bothers to run virus checkers, and when they do it's because they are trying to fix a Windows machine and they have brought over the hard drive for that purpose.

Any time I have to get on my wife's Windows box to fix something, it is like torture. I don't see why people put up with it.

Another vote for Malwarebytes - I run it from time to time. I have also used CC Cleaner for a number of years. Both were recommended by our chief IT guy at work.

I am using Kapersky and Trend . I do a lot of eBay, YouTube work and pickup stuff there. Even then there is some stuff that gets by them.

I have a geek I send stuff out to when it is beyond me, and he says the best way to test your antivirus is to find the nastiest Russian porn site and surf it a while. They all are infested, and you should pickup something real quick like.

None. Antivirus is for n00bs.

Linux for the win, Mint 17.3 to be specific.

None. Ubuntu for me and never a problem.

none.

I'm with the Linux guys... Ubuntu for my main desktop and Lubuntu for my old ancient slow laptop. Free upgrades for life. Never understood why people keep paying to use their own computer.

never a virus
