Do you use an Anti-Virus?

Do you use an Anti-Virus or any sort of security software on your computers? At the moment and have been doing for years is Windows Defender (default on Windows 10) + Windows Firewall + Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (Free)

Not on my mac. When I use my windows machine I think I've got avira.

I have a paid license for Eset Internet security. I have tried lots of different security programs in the past but have found eset to be one of the must secure and also one of the most lightweight.

I also have a premium lifetime license for malwarebytes. Got it on special offer and not that long later they stopped doing the lifetime licenses but still honor those who purchased them. So glad I bought it

just windows defender on windows. I only use (i'm trying to only use) windows for the games I can't play on linux. Finally found a linux distro that my hardware likes :HeartEyes:

AVG Free, other than that I just let Windows do its thing

No, never have. Just the standards windows one on my windows laptop and don't use one at all on my mac. I'm just careful with what I go on and what I download.

That's the best way but sadly even being careful isn't enough these days. Drive-by download is a technique that hides malicious code in a websites background that is ran simply when visiting a website meaning you don't need to actually click or download anything. These can often by hidden on legitimate websites e.g. they are hacked or an advert contains malicious code.

Yep. I use Avira Antivirus Pro and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (Lifetime Premium)
