Do you need an antivirus?

[@TheHobbitmann]

Always you need av, especially in Windows

[@slotddTech]

Also I'd test zonealarm next-generation since it's improved A LOT in just a year they optimized the sophos engine with their ai and BB kind of like checkpoint harmony in a way. Also I'm testing huorong 6.0 on my test vm. Pretty lightweight and good engine and finally their engine is on VT so it seems like a decent potential av

[@gonzo_7278]

Just don’t get the bad ones like Norton or Mcafee just insane bloatware and annoying to have

[@foe]

I don't have anti virus because I'm not dumb. Even if there was an back end exploit I disabled scripts and other things in my group policy

[@zulhailmie]

What AV + Firewall would you recommend besides Malwarebytes?

[@EclypseeTech]

Will include in qna.

[@slotddTech]

@zulhailmie free, Bitdefender and wfc default deny very good imo firewall wise, saved me one time when a malware escaped my vm but wfc gave me a warning and even though the sample of malware was there, it couldn't do anything without internet access. Anyway, malwarebytes is pretty solid but can be improved on its just very expensive for what it is. Instead of malwarebytes the best I can recommend is zonealarm, it has improved vastly and beats Bitdefender, insanely good with their ai and sophos engine,. Not too expensive if you find a deal

you have to sort them by "newest first" in order to show the rest . I'm watching youtube having these kind of "problems" for years , it's a persisting issue ,and i don't know why ...

I use Xcitium and i am fine with it this is my opinion

[@slotddTech]

Xcitium isn't the best, mainly the owner is an actual scumbag criticizing other products and banning people from the forums for simply stating issues with comodos trashy bugs. Xcitium only has 1 or 2 good features, other than sandbox.

[@slotddTech]

Curelsister comodo firewall is the only way I'd use such a overrated product, they literally have no innovation at all. Name 1 other thing besides sandbox that can outclass major companies and ngavs.

[@nikolam1093]

@@slotddTechXcitium has more good features such as VirusScope(Static and dynamic AI machine learning),Xcitium Valkyrie,File Rating,HIPS etc

[@slotddTech]

@nikolam1093 sandbox is easily bypassable and that's basically its only strong defense in comodo, with a trash engine and if a malware has a stolen sig which is hard to do, it most likely can bypass hips, virusscope almost never reacts, I had mm about 200 samples mostly stealers and ransomware, one of them had a stolen nvidia signature and completely bypassed comodo even though hips never gave a warning. Hate to break it to you, comodo isn't that good having a horrible ceo who's ego is unmatched thinking his superior to everyone banning ppl from forums for simply stating bugs and lying abt release dates and fixes. Comodo isn't all that bad if they can put a 3rd party engine like avira but melih the ceo is just the issue
