What Anti-Virus do you use for Windows/Mac and Why? - Resistance - 10-15-2010
What anti-virus(s [secondary+]) do you use? I use:
Primary: Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 (Activated)
Secondary: MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware (Activated)
Really good stuff, I can tell you that.
The only things that are detected as a virus are the small malicious codes I used to make when I was 11/12.
I use Kaspersky for its efficient scanner and internet protection. And that safe run is a great feature.
Mbam, is something everyone should have that I know for sure, its really great, especially Malicious IP Blocking.

By my point of view, Avast 5 Free Edition is the best.
It works smooth than any others and even detects viruses.

Smoother, to be correct and thats not entirely true, yet its scanning is effiecient. If you ask me, it has an insane file monitoring system, just like Kaspersky. Again, if you ask me, Kaspersky is just 0.1% better than avast.

Main thing of Avast 5 is that its free. What else do you need.

Why? Because that OS is extremely unpopular.

Why? Because Windows fails.

Ooops, didn't mean to double post.
I see you have changed the name of the thread now to "What Anti-Virus do you use for Windows/Mac and Why?".
It was previously What Anti-Virus do you use and why? otherwise i wouldn't have posted in this thread.
