Bitdefender Total Security 2018 Free 6 Months Subscription

I was about to say this

I dissagre, Avast Free, keeps finding treats that don't exist, and when I try to solve them, they ask me to upgrade it :D

Avast is the most retarded piece of software ever written.

It says 1 year on the sos-page, but you are redirected to a 3 months bitdefender giveaway.

Bitdefender is an EXTREMELY easy choice vs AVG.

Windows is still vulnerable to viruses. Also there is a mess called ransomware.

"Better safe than sorry"

What are you talking about? Antivirus are here to stay, unless you use Linux of course.
Now even Win10 comes with its own antivirus(windows defender, which is basically mse but with a different name).

Since when have antiviruses become obsolete?
I regularly use MalwareBytes and I still have Windows Defender make regular scans.

Even ads carry viruses these days, so I personally am not so certain of my skills of avoiding literally every single virus in existence.

what da hell are you talking?? viruses/trojans have exctinct in 2018?

Yes, in this day and age Antivirus software are more relevant than ever. I have no idea why lately comments like yours pop up all the time whenever "antivirus" comes up in a discussion.

In case you're under the misconception and thinks "if I don't do stupid stuff, I shouldn't worry", then I recommend this article.

And/or if you think that "Windows Defender is good enough", here's another article. Edit: Replaced with better and more up-to-date article, albeit I couldn't find one that is solely about Defender, the opening section of that one should do.

Also, if you think that you're protected because you're on *nix, I have bad news for you.

TL;DR of articles: Malicious software nowadays has never been so sophisticated, and there are ways to get infected simply from being connected to the internet. There is no way to be 100% protected, but Antivirus software (the ones developed by good security software companies, at least) have means of figuring if a software is malicious in the short time window between it is found and patched. Not having them is a security liability, and IMO computer security is no laughing matter.

Well... cough...I was just trolling...
erhmm.. just to clear some things...
My main job is in the IT industry but my company and me personally are using Linux so we dont have the need of an Antiviuys but yes of course our windows clients are using Webroot Business (cloud based antivirus)
if you think that you are safe using any antivirus software then you are totally wrong!
We had incidents with Ransomwere on windows servers using remote desktop and infecting the machine with ransomvirus.
There are many ransomware out there that antivirus cant detect so be careful...
I think the best antivirus is a good backup solution. Just create one backup everyday and that will keep you safe just in case you are infected. There are many free backup solutions out there for the desktop users so just grab one and do your backups daily.
cheers :)

2018 and still concerning about Game compatibility?

I agree it has lots of annoyances and I have to manually set stuff all the time but supposedly it catches whatever viruses things the best so I stuck to using the trials. I also do run superantispyware but it's sort of for a different purpose? What do you use instead?

Google Drive has good storage size. Mega also gives you 50 GB if I remember correctly.
