    You can get ClamAV off the app store for mac. Between that and running Time Machine for backups, you should be in great shape.

    Let's bump this up. I just got a laptop again for the first time in many years (windows 10). What anti-virus do you guys like right now for Windows machines? I've only turned the computer on a few times here and there, but would like something in place before I start using it for real.

    Before I start trying to bulk up my plex account and download the programs I need for work.

    I installed Malwarebytes last night but fell asleep before I could go through all the settings.

    Are you looking for real-time prevention or after-the-fact detection/deletion? Are you wanting to pay or stay free?

    Yes free, and real time sounds ideal.

    Defender provides real-time protection. Whether or not protection should be in quotation marks is perhaps another topic.

    I've used AVG free and Avast free. Both seem to work well, both will poke you periodically to upgrade to their paid product, but nothing horribly intrusive. Avast seems to be a little less resource intensive, but neither really slows down a reasonably modern computer.

    AVG has been really annoying me on my home desktop/server for months now. I've had issue with Avast on the wife's computer false blocking lots of legitimate comms, like her work VPN, etc.

    Don't get me started on SEP on the work laptop. Worst part there is constantly having to turn off the network intrusion to allow my VM's network access - admin policy controlled so it re-enables itself periodically. Been getting false positives on legit file downloads too since they started blacklisting "unpopular downloads."
    My Feedback
    Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
    Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
    Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."
