    What Security Do You Use/Prefer On Your Machine(Windows/Mac/Linux)

    Hello all.
    I use Bitdefender Total Security & Voodoo-Shield Free+Syshardener.
    Second Opinion Scanners: Malwarebytes Free, Eset Online Scanner, HitmanPro(paid), Norton Power Eraser, Emsisoft Emergency Kit.

    Windows inbuilt Defender is all I use.
    then extra layers provided by a modified HOSTS files and web browser extensions Ublock Origin and Disconnect.

      I personally use Emsisoft Anti-Malware and Windows Defender. That’s all. I’ve found Emsisoft is lightweight, fast, and secure. I’ve used Malwarebytes in the past but so many false positives turned me away (I do have a lifetime license for it though). For browser security I use Edge Beta with uBlock and Emsisoft browser extensions. That’s it.

      I run Arch Linux on my laptop, and honestly, I don’t see a need for AV on Linux. It’s already much more secure than Windows

        Hey, again, I have switched from Syshardener to Simple Windows Hardening, which is much better IMHO.
