What anti-virus/es are you using? And is my protection good enough?

This is not true, but ok...

So true, plus if you buy AV you are more likely to get a virus. AV market is a huge (debatable) scam. Though Id protection is nice. Windows defender is pretty good on it's own.

Pretty much this.

the only way you can get a virus is if YOU download it and YOU RUN it

False.

Thats incorrect, but please continue to infect the rest of the people who think that way.

Google: Drive by downloads. Java and Flash exploits to name a few to start.

Are you stuck in the 90's? This approach used to work, for a while, until viri and trojans got inserted into otherwise innocuous webpages, for example. Viruses and other malware get into your PC in all manner of ways, and not running any form of AV and / or firewall software nowadays is not only unsafe, but (if you keep abreast of developments in malware) stupid.

Also, running a form of browser protection like NoScript, with at the very least XSS attack protection is more than just prudent.

avast! works fine, so I do not need anything else

I am not using 2 AVs at once. Like I said, I have MSE with real-time protection enabled. The 2 others are just for manual scan :P

im happy Avast user for years now cant complain :D

Also use Avast! some AV can be very intrusive when installing legit programs and games, which Avast! doesn't.

I use avast too

Avast does the work.

Avast FTW! Tested many AVs, Avast is the best :P

Got it on my computer and smartphone (free for Android with anti theft!)

This

noone mentioned buying... lel

Norton... I had it preinstalled on my laptop. When I uninstalled it, I wasn't able to enable windows firewall. And I'm not alone. When I installed it, it worked... Looked like they was forcing me to use Norton. I reinstalled Windows. And also found their uninstaller. + it was slowing down a PC.

Try Panda Cloud Antivirus. Works fine for me for the past few years.

Free version of Avast is works just fine.

I have some plugin from Advanced System Care 6. I don't know if it warns me from infection and stop it, but it showing me which website is safe.

Used Comodo Firewall, heard it's very very good. But it had too much settings for me.

This. Avast free + Comodo Firewall with Defense+ switched off.

Isn't ESET Smart Security better? What's the difference? I think SMart Security protects more things. I had it.

Hmm. Some people aren't as childish as you. Actually anti-virus' do provide protection.If it is using 'too much cpu and ram' then you have a really really shit computer. Some people have professional documents that malware and trojans may steal, these documents may be very sensitive, and it may be difficult to back up everything that a person has. Please, Learn some stuff... then come back.

Yeah, I kept renewing my McAfee license out of habit but lately I've been very dissatisfied with it. The only time I got hit with some malware in the last year it didn't detect it and I finally got rid of it with Malwarebyte plus some registry editing. However it will block some legitimate programs and I end up disabling it from time to time just because they removed the option to make whitelists or to manually trust said pice of software. I might just go with either MSE or Avast when my licence expires. (Or earlier if I really get fed up with it.) Anyway, I use a virtual PC when I need to test some potentially harmful downloads. (Snapshots are a great thing)

love nod, miss the free days.

Yeah, Norton sux.

Damn! I don't run more AVs at once! Only MSE running in real-time protection! The other two are just for manual scanning. THat's why i said real-time protection enabled. I need to change description, lol.
