Also, no matter what virus software that you are using, I am a huge advocate of also running Spy Bot Search & Destroy from safer-networking.org as it looks for different kinds of threats to your computer that most ordinary virus software does now, however it does not get the kind of stuff that most antivirus software does. This is why I recommend using it in addition to a virus software.

I would agree..

:love:

Those ad-bloated programms like Avira Antivir is just ridiculous. But also use common sense 😉

My advise is to use a known antivirus, a scriptblocker (like NoScript if u have firefox), a firewall and common sense like the previous posters stated.

It also has an option to detect and delete ransomeware here is the link for it. It is very fast and efficient with hourly updates keeping its database up to date with the latest infections to kick their arse. Plus one can try it for free for 30 days and if they like it then you can buy it. Here is the link for it

I use MS security essentials but i have doubt on it

Also Malwarebytes anti malware. There is MSE too.
Also I would suggest to use browser addons like Web of trust, McAfee site advisor or Link extend. I always look at the green, yellow or red suggestion given by the Link extend addon while visiting new websites.

It works awesome and I never had any virus attacked since.

Security essentials is even built into Windows 8 and beyond (as Windows Defender). Other security/antivirus programs offer different realtime shields that may be helpful, but those also incur performance costs. If you're using a bit of common sense, these realtime shields are largely useless, so you're taking a performance hit for very little benefit. As far as virus definitions go, there isn't much of a functional difference between different antivirus programs. In some cases, paid programs even have problems with false positives (http://arstechnica.com/business/2010/04/broken-mcafee-dat-update-cripples-windows-workstations/) which in the extreme cases will even break your operating system. Security Essentials is the best choice in my opinion because it provides a good level of security without getting in the way of normal operation. If you don't trust yourself, or prefer the comfort that the realtime shields of another program offer and you're fine with the performance hit, those are fine too.

anti virus software ist useless. completely and utterly useless.
Why?
Because they can't keep up with the bad guys. Every av-company has databanks full of hundreds of thousands of potential virus or other malware. Most of them are just derivates of other malwares and most of them are not analyzed.
Remember Stuxnet? The virus who was supposed to sabotage the Iranian nuclear program in 2010? It was written by Israel (and with help of the US?) and guess what…the mainbody of this virus was in those databanks for years and just nobody had time to analyze it.

And well..the applications themselves. A lot of av-software digs deep into your system and is hard to control or just a pain in the ass to configure and some even have annoying ads etc.
Mostly they are just going to report files based on an heuristic approach (they scan and analyze the file and say statistically it could do something bad). So they have pretty much no clue.

And well….anti virus software is dead..said the senior vice president for information security of Symantec

So…

1. I wouldnt look up for benchmark tests or scores or reviews of anti virus software I have to pay for. They are not worth your money.
2. Start using brain.exe. If the website seems shady dont use it.
3. Use your browser and its features. Like NoAds Plugin or the automated domain security check all the browser do in the background and configure your browser correctly (turn java off and sometimes even java-script etc).
4. Get some free av-programs. You dont need the whole range of features like real time protection. For example: iirc Spybot Search & Destroy blocks known bad sites by putting them into your localhost file (so the urls will be redirected to your own computer ergo you cant even surf to these websites to begin with).
5. if in doubt use www.virustotal.com

Common sense is the best and most effective antivirus 🙂

Yeah, not clicking "TOTALLYNOTAVIRUS.SCR.EXE" or "HOT COED WOMEN WANT TO FUCK YOU NOW, DOWNLOAD OUR APP" type ads/emails/etc will protect you 99% of the time, but it's still important to have an antivirus and antimalware solution for that 1% of times where you cannot have knowledge of the threat - the last virus I got was a 0day exploit dropper that I couldn't have possibly seen coming because it had only been released into the wild hours earlier. Fortunately my antivirus /did/ catch the files it tried to download and my firewall and antimalware caught the dropper itself when it tried to talk to its command/control server.
