Wheres the "I don't use one" option?

I disable/choose not to use any anti-virus software because I don't get viruses. All anti-virus software do is stop something you're too ignorant to stop yourself. I don't download suspicious torrents, open scheme attachments, and when I go to a site with popups despite having Adblocker active, I force close that window to prevent any chance of unwanted downloads. I've been doing these things for over half a decade and I've been virus free for over half a decade.

I see no point in installing something that does what I already know instinctively what to do.

Though if I had to recommend one for someone, I'd say Avast as it gets alot of praise.

how do you know that you dont have any virii when you dont have anti-virus software?

I use Avast as my main AV. I also have Threatfire running, Malwarebytes for manual scans, and Sandboxie for if I'm suspicious of something.

 

[Marlonguppy]

I use AVG.

Mac's don't need anti-viruses.

This made me laugh. Macs can easily get viruses, it's just that no one cares enough about them to make one.

... You need ...
...
LulzSec!

Wow, we have 8 n00bs who are using Norton/McAfee and admit to it.

Also ESET NOD32 has been missed out.

Microsoft Security Essentials.

I don't even see the thing until it needs to be seen. Which is to warn me about stuff.

It starts silently and updates silently.
Ah.

I was rather fond of Kaspersky when I had it, but when I ran out of money, I turned to Avast!. It's kinda been bloating up on me, but I only need it when I run my VMWare environment on my mac. Got recommended Avira, but haven't had the chance to install it yet.
