all i have to say is that windows security is a virus. windows security keeps poping up saying that i have all these viruses and keeps trying me to buy microsoft shit over the internet. but for sum reason nod32, avast and avira say i have no viruses on my computer , the only explenation is that windows security is programed to give u viruses so that u buy microsoft antivirus off the net. i tired deleting it but it wont let me, and since noting works to get rid of the virus, its fucked
You are probably infected with a form of malware called Antivirus 2010, which pretends to be and looks very much like an official Microsoft product. It's also very hard to remove. Microsoft is not designed to give you viruses, it's just vulnerable - epseically to user error. ;-)
Microsoft's official product is called Microsoft Security Essentials, and would NOT be installed from a random popup - like your Antivirus 2010 assuredly was. Think before you click.
hmm , that could possably be, because when it first got rank infected, there was like 4 little shield things with X's in the middle down where the time is stuff is, i dono , all i need to know is how do i delete malware, or is there any programs that can detect mimicing viruses??
Nice video, is a good start of how to use antivirus tools, and it's true what you say: every antivirus is different... I rather use NOD32 because I used to have kapersky, but it's really heavy..
Okay, first of all...you got a very good argument. But i need to ask you alot of things. Is F-Secure a good antivirus? I need help badly! Can you mention some antiviruses? Like 5 of them? I want to install a antivirus that comes like a Pop-up and says: Warning! A virus has been detected! Will you be so nice and recommand a GOOD antivirus? Or say what that Pop-up antivirus protection is? If you are very nice, say both. I really need your help :D Thank you!!
The very fact that you are touting the important of AntiVirus systems like its some necessities shows how you lack on security. Watch my videos (most recent) if you actually want to learn what security is about, and how to turn a computer into a defensive, offensive, secure and useful appliance that is rock solid and secure, and then come back and tell me I don't know what UNIX is or what security is.
You obviously haven't watched any of my other videos, else you'd realize I promote more than leaning on an AV alone.
I've run Windows systems without an AV and without being infected - but the average user doesn't take the time or show the disciplines I do. For them an AV is necessary.
I could indeed find my open ports, and I run netstat regularly, and one of these days I will get round to IPSec'ing what I want in and out. Network security is next what I will learn about.
After testing many, Kaspersky Internet Security has remained superior in my book. Also to remember, some can be false positives. I also run Mandriva 2007.1 Spring Linux Distribution, and I even have Kaspersky Anti-Virus integrated into my system. I'm working on designing a qt interface for the console scanning. :-)
zero hours huh....These "few sensible measures" seem to be repetitive. You are giving instructions on how to update your definitions because new viruses come out all the time(what like every week?). Of course every OS has it vulnerabilities, but with *nix, its a one time thing for these sensible measures. I might be preaching to the choir, because you use solaris and what not.
It takes more than 0 hours to set up security on any OS, the time you spend doing something as basic as making a decent password for your administrator or root account means you've spent more than 0. My point is that I've spent 0 hours removing or patching up due to a virus. As is the case with most AVs, mine updates automatically - I just check up on it every month at least. Updating bits of *nix often serves the same purpose.
I don't use AV, but I do lock my system remarkably well down with first party stuff in Windows itself. in fact, I lie, I do use AV, but only a portable scanner to scan some files I send to others.
The best antivirus software is Linux/UNIX. I know others here have said it, and if you don't believe, then go clean your registry! I've spent about 0 hours with anti-virus these past few years, while others are throwing their shit in the dumpster....bwahahaha....losers with your anti-virus.
As I said before about Macs, no OS is totally impervious to security breaches. Funny thing is I've spent about 0 hours dealing with viruses myself in the past few years, because I take a few sensible measures. I don't know what idiot throws computers in the dumpster because it's got a virus, when an 'fdisk format reinstall' will basically correc the issue. That's basically the problem you are trying to avoid.
I've got a system running Solaris 10 x86 as well, so I know what I'm dealing with. ;-)
Your a complete moron. UNIX is not secure at all. My Windows system's security will pawn the absolute arse out of anything UNIX based you can give me.
Go find me an actual Mac OS X virus in the wild. Show me one for Solaris. Methinks you know not of what you speak. Most Windows users have no idea what UNIX really is anyway.
Once again you are another user confusing security with the amount of viruses attacking machines. A secure machine is not connected *AT ALL* to the amount of viruses for it. That machine could be attacked by a million viruses a day, and all could fail. And there are Mac OS 10 viruses and exploits, constantly, just not all out in the wild at once.
What you don't seem to get is that beyond that, the security of UNIX comes from how it's user management works. That's where Windows still greatly lacks.
Please share precisely how Windows management lacks. I'd like to know what is wrong with it. And now I don't think there are any UNIX viruses in the wild. A video I am soon to respond with finally explains why viruses and security are not always the same matter.
UNIX systems partition off user access differently than Windows. A user can not make changes to the kernel, and has a different access to the libraries. Most 3rd party libraries are created per user - this is only occasionally done in Windows.
It doesn't really hurt to have two antivirus programs installed BUT I wouldn't run the live realtime protection at the same time. I also wouldn't try to run manual scans with both at once. I keep several AV tools in my 'arsenal' including stand alone removal programs like Stinger. You can even get live CDs with the likes of ClamAV on them.
That keeps you from getting a Windows virus, but you can still harbor them. You are also not impervious to exploits on a Mac, just extremely unlikely to suffer from them.

I don't make any specific recommendations of one antivirus over another, for several reasons:
Detection effectiveness varies over time from any of the providers. Current tests will be your best measure for that.
User interface and configuration is entirely subjective. What I might like in a UI may not be suitable to you at all.
All reputable antivirus software fundamentally works, most often well enough to prevent ever having any infections.

Oh, and yes, I have a Mac too.

my statement still stands,though.the best way to avoid any virus is to run a unix platform:linux,freebsd,osx
