Maverick Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Comcast/Xfinity stopped supporting the Norton suite that they had been providing for free for the last several years. They say they are protecting my home Wi-Fi, but I don't think I'm covered for browsing on my PC. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordgalaxy Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I use the free version of Bitdefender for anti-virus and both Super Anti-Spyware and Spyware Blaster for that stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 I use the free version of Bitdefender for anti-virus and both Super Anti-Spyware and Spyware Blaster for that stuff. Thanks! I'll check those out. I was using some free software for a while, years ago. Actually, I think I heard about it here. But then Comcast was giving its users free Norton. And I got a new PC as well, so it just made sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I bought a Chromebook to reduce that concern. I still have my other two laptops to worry about though, and usually use Kaspersky. but there are some perfectly serviceable free downloads out there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grep Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) My main rig, I am using Fedora. Not running as root, so there's that. For Windows, the default Microsoft stuff which is really good. Plus Malwarebytes and to a lesser extent I still scan with Spybot S&D. Edited August 14, 2021 by grep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostRider Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I use the free version of Malwarebytes, awesome anti virus program. It quarantines viruses and removes them when it finds them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grep Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) My main rig, I am using Fedora. Not running as root, so there's that. For Windows, the default Microsoft stuff which is really good. Plus Malwarebytes and to a lesser extent I still scan with Spybot S&D. Still the same deal. Been experimenting with throwaway virtual machines. The idea being to do 'risky' browsing in a throwaway VM. So that even if a malware takes root it just gets blown away when I shut down. Next time I start the VM it's a fresh copy. No malware, if any happened to install on the last run. Which also removes the need to scan. Downside is that it involves making a copy of the baselined system virtual disk at startup. Edited October 22, 2021 by grep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
