Brock N Roll Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Hey guys, I'm needing to get a free virus protection for my PC. I don't know much about this kinda stuff so I was just curious to what's the best protection I can get for free? Any help would be appreciated.

StrangeTerrain Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Checking that out now. Thanks yeah basically the full version only comes with "advanced firewall" which if you use windows it doesnt really matter because there is firewall included Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejesseb Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I just use Windows Security Essentials. From what Ive read on different tech sites it is really all you need. It is free as well. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security-essentials-download Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Just being a snob, I've heard MS security essentials does a good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtw88 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Yeah. Microsoft Security Essentials with Malwarebytes in case you happen to get a virus should be sufficient so long as you aren't cruising around really bogus sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrowsmith89 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I just use Windows Security Essentials. From what Ive read on different tech sites it is really all you need. It is free as well. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security-essentials-download I use this as well, but it takes forever to do a full scan, but at least it never catches anything. I'm not sure how long it takes for everyone else though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Linux Definitely. Save $100 and never even have to think about viruses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtz Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Yeah. Microsoft Security Essentials with Malwarebytes in case you happen to get a virus should be sufficient so long as you aren't cruising around really bogus sites. This is what I use. Never had any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock N Roll Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 Yeah. Microsoft Security Essentials with Malwarebytes in case you happen to get a virus should be sufficient so long as you aren't cruising around really bogus sites. Are Bangbros, Brazzers, and Naughty America considered bogus sites? If they are, I'm in for a world of hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock N Roll Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 Really though, thanks for the suggestions. I have 4 days left on my current protection so I'll look into all these and roll with one of them. I just didn't want to spend the money on one when I know I can get a free one that does the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tittus Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Haven't had anti-virus protection in a while. Ran into one or two funny things in the last 5-6 years and ran System Restore. Good as new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
