I like that: "Security is a journey, not a destination." Remembering that helps me to stay away from "silver bullet" thinking. :)
The best antivirus is not downloading torrents from suspicious sites.
The Best Antivirus doesn’t exist. However, a reputable adblocker (that’s enabled in Private Mode too, for those doing a special search) can take care of so many of the easiest vectors to infection, your browser. You can’t click on a malicious download link when it’s blocked and not included when displaying the webpage.
As far as email viruses and the like go, it all comes down to user education. A computer only does what it’s told to do, after all.
Same with torrent users - look closely at file lists, avoid one massive executable file unless you can confirm that’s how the product is meant to be, and don’t believe any torrent link that looks too good to be true.
In other words, common sense.
Can you do a new video on firewalls and how to set them up you one a few years back or is this still relevant today.
PEBCAK: Problem exists between chair and keyboard. We used that all the time in tech support.
You are 100% right it's the user downloading the latest game or video Windows lite.
Best antivirus is common sense!
Humanity: "We're doomed. We're not gonna make it." -- also from 'Gulivar's Travels' cartoon
common sense is not that common
Common sense comes with experience. Regular person doesn't have experience.
True words. Best is Common Sense and only doing normal things😅👍
As with everything in life eheh
if you know what you are doing, defender if enough on windows.
Do you know what you are doing?
Chris, you're really showing your age here with that Paris Hilton reference. She hasn't been relevant in about 15 years. 😂
check point
most businesses use edr/xdr over av anyway. most of them have av component anyway.
The annoyance of them flagging your site aside. Hands down Kaspersky is the best antivirus IF you're infected with something nasty. They can do binary edits that other don't do. The reality is as you say the USER is the issue the vast majority of the time. Having good, solid backups of your data to include a base image of the main OS and your data split to another drive or partition you can always restore your data. Just keep the external backup drive disconnected when the backup is done. That way no infection can get to your backups.
Any good Anti-Virus for The User?
we're on ESET at work, have been for many years... but I hate their management system... and have had a few major issues with it, biggest one being it stopping VM's in the cloud from booting, took me days to figure out that it was ESET causing the issue and $$$ for extra VM's, restoring from backups etc etc! was not a fun week as it was our DevOps/Jenkins VM
considering moving to webroot as their management system looks intuitive and they are cheaper than ESET!
better the devil you know than the devil you don't??
Truthful
Switching to Windows 11, due to my short stay on the ten, I found defender to be preferable to my way of using the computer!
And this is where the huge problems started! People just click on links... And in one ugly moment it turned out that I need to know every single customer to know what to do...
UGLY BUT FACT......
And I definitely agree that there is NO good anti virus program if the user is not internet literate!
Can anyone please explain what he mean noisy when he spook about kaspersky cause deferent UA-cam channel said the same
Good video.
I like bitdefender.
Yeah, I could like it too, for now I am using the Vodka based one..
the problem is the user.... youre totally right :)
Yes, I download and install any program from the wild wild west and even have to (sometimes) disable Antivirus to get it installed.
My friend was using windows defender and got miner from cracked installer, while my antivirus (avast free) catch that.
Best setup for me:
- Stop downloading and installing crap you're not sure about. If you must, do it in a VM first and make sure it's safe.
- Keep an up-to-date image of your Windows installation. If something bad happens, just wipe and restore.
- Don't run AV on your production machine. If you get a 0-day virus AV isn't going to stop it.
- Store important files on server running something like Malwarebytes and Windows Defender.
- Use a cloud backup service. No, seriously, *_USE A CLOUD BACKUP SERVICE_*
The drive containing ALL my client data has sh*t the bed twice, Backblaze saved my ass both times. Worth every single penny.
Hey Chris, I discovered your channel, although I used your debloat tool.
You can make subtitles available in PT-BR.
It cost !
Damn, someone finally said it out loud "Biggest cybersecurity threat a PEBCAK error"🤣
Anyone overly paranoid wouldn't choose Kaspersky at all 😂
why ?
Hey Chris!! You're touching a difficult subject here.. Best Antivirus doesn't exist.. Everything is upon user needs, capabilities, knowledge etc etc.. Also if you're a small company or big company etc etc.. Best solution for average Windows user is Defender and to use Windows with deep knowledge in what to install or what to open...
Remember..user rules..not Antivirus..😂😂😊
Webroot isn't horrible. It's very lightweight and can be centrally managed for your business.
What about android?💀
It is stupidly difficult to find the download to Kaspersky free antivirus.
Then that's your tell. You not to worry about trying to use it just for that fact alone
It's russian owned anyway think about it it's not rocket science
@@motoryzen What does that even mean it is Russian owned? How much Chinese stuff are we you using every day - that is a bit more of a concern.
@repairman2be250 (facepalms)
You can't sit there and sincerely honestly and innocently. Ask me what does that even mean Being that Kaspersky Is russian owned.. Given you have had access to the same information. The rest of us have for now decades
Dude stop playing dumb
@@motoryzen why do you think I am playing dumb or anything like that, what is your point bro?
@deaingnoth omfg....1. I'm not your bro. 2...Google why it males no sense to download a Russian owned ans operated piece of software.... not rocket science .
I'm tired of this conversation...
So, I shouldn't get a cracked version of my favorite antivirus suite? LOL!
I like an AV that is supported on Linux as well. I still use CLAM AV. The options are limited - ESET. Most other are Enterprise level like MacAfee or Avast.
kaspersky has false flagged mastodon social, they're great if you want a system that's super locked down, but not when you're actually using the PC day to day.
I will say though, that if you have a grandma or someone that doesn't know computers well, knowing they have an antivirus, and the antivirus telling them that they did an oopsie shouldn't be understated. I would install kaspersky on a grandma's PC, mostly because it's better safe than sorry with those kinda people.
Well, you could always pause Kaspersky while you are working on your PC day to day and enable it after work.
You don't need a AV, just be smart about what you download or open on the web. Windows Defender works well enough if you tell it to run when you are in bed, never have to worry about it.
Someone said it in the stream comments. "The best antivirus is Linux"
I use Linux too.
Do you think there is a point to AV on Linux? Is there even one out there?
Yes, to scan Windows partitions/disks
@@MrYossarianuk And to scan shared files so one doesn't spread malware while sharing, even if crossing OSs.
ClamAV is one for Linux. Comodo used to offer a Linux AV, but it is out of date for certain Linux dependencies, unless they FINALLY fixed it. Sophos offered one as well; I couldn't seem to find the link at the moment.
The answer is no because most of them, such as clam, a v give false positives.
@@markh.6687 I used to have eset for desktop linux - now I just have clamav
What a lot of people don't think about with detection rate is risk, like for me I haven't run into any kind of malware or virus since windows XP days, like at all. So an anti-virus that stays out of the way but protects me well from older threats which is the most likely attack vector for is good enough.
That said windows defender is silent and in gaming benchmarks doesn't cause any issues, not anymore at least. It seems to have the same features for gaming that the other pay utilities have. I honestly don't see any reason for me to swap out of it anymore. Bit Defender was my go-to beforehand, but its gotten so convoluted and bloated in features which is good for some but It makes it a pain in the butt for users like me that dont need half of what they offer.
But obv if you're in a high risk environment, or you're on the bleeding edge of piracy a strong AV is absolutely necessary.
"The user is the problem".
What was that ear-splitter roar of approval I just heard from the IT community??
And Chris, remember...just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
That guy saying linux is best antivirus, probably hasn't been a linux sysadmin.
The best Anti-virus, is yourself. Talking in a sense of downloading obviously, there are times where things can be maliciously effected without you needing to download or open things. But in a general sense, the best Anti-virus will always be yourself. "is this safe to download" if you can answer that, you are good.
Then you haven't run across a malicious script wrapped inside of an ad header on a legit site. The only guaranteed safe way is to never install any application or go on the internet at all.
ALT/ Imagine going to your motherboard vendor site and installing their BIOS update to find out that your entire computer is compromised.
ALT/ Imagine your high-end expensive networking allowing malicious access because the vendor's database was hacked.
Anyway I can come up with hundreds of these. You're not safe. You're simply thinking of fools clicking on their spam mail.
@@DJaquithFL The issue with your scenario, is that just isnt happening. If you go to your motherboards official website, and download their official update file, and use the official method to install it. There is 0 room for an exploit to take place.
Your scenarios are extremely unrealistic in a sense of people doing generic everyday things.
If you're setting up / Messing with networking, and you leave a gaping hole for people to do hoola hoops in, that is 100% at your fault, and atp we are talking about someone who is plenty tech savy to know a lot more than exploits compared to a normie on a PC browsing the web.
It is EXTREMELY uncommon for anyone to click on a malicious ad, follow through every bit of dialogue, and download. Which atp comes to my exact point......the best anti virus is yourself.
@@KutaG59Ape .. Umm no, it happened with shipping Gigabyte MOBOs .. Google is your friend, try using it next time before replying. 😉👌
@@KutaG59Ape .. Regarding Ads, no, the script would simply auto run just from the fact that it was being loaded on your browser. How do I know because I wrote the fix on it myself for Symantec which included a registry hack that changed how executables were handled by Windows. You can Google that too!
Anything that I ever post on any of these kind of stupid ass threads. I guarantee that I am not pulling it out of my rear side.
webroot all the way
People who ask about antivirus should be directed to the apple store or linux dependent on their technical acumen
I would say norton is actually OK but it bugs you to do crap you don’t need like “system cleanup”
Norton has never been ok.
@@zurkke it was good then terrible and now I consider it ok.
@@Ultrajamz It was never good. Back in the 90s it was already scummy as hell, you might as well infect yourself. Nowadays, with the amount of AMAZING free options you have INCLUDING one that's BUNDLED with your Windows install, installing Norton is literally worse than infecting your machine with actual viruses. It's also harder to get out, possibly.
I use webroot
The snobs in your chat lol LiNuX iS thE bEsT AntiVIruS like bruh you know that's not what they mean
Doesn't matter.
Facts dont care about your feelings..
@@motoryzen oh hey look it's one of the snobs 😆 oops I hurt his feelings
@@motoryzen what facts are you talking about!? Are you also one of those who instead of having strong arguments just likes to throw words they see on the internet!?
@@tikidai you're the one that started with incoherent and asinine insults...kid
That alone just spelled it our fpr you.
If you're too dumb tp understand that then perhaps you should stick to your pokemon cartoons and leave the adult chat to thr adults
It's not rocket science go back and read your Original comment
@@tikidai The fact that viruses still to an insane majority today are designed for windows computers, not lennox, and not mac.
That's just one example of what I was talking about
It's not like any of that is ... Nor has ever been a secret
You sound like one of those loud mouth. Kids that come into classroom spouting bragatos. Nonsense without even listening to what is being taught in class
Go back to sleep kid
Best anti-v is none at all!
Linux...
