AV Question
« on: November 26, 2010, 10:12:31 am »
Which (free) Anti-Virus would you guys recommend? My friend asked me which one he should get, since I'm apparently the most techie person nearby.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

every man faps to every person he knows/likes. I've done that for about 2 girls that I've liked really, and it's because they have big boobs. 'Nuff said amirite?

Avira's also a pretty decent free anti-virus. I've heard people complain about Avast! in the past, so I don't know what's up with that. Never tried it myself though.

Microsoft security essentials or Kaspersky AV

This. If you're going for free, Microsoft Security Essentials has been causing some bitchfests among "real" anti-virus makers due to it being a free multi-featured AV tool, but if you want to pay for something Kaspersky is a damn good one (I've been using it for about two years after bad experiences with Norton and McAffee). Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is also pretty good; I use it alongside Kaspersky as a secondary scanner, because it's one of the best scanner tools out there (not sure about the paid version's active protection, however).

It's viable to keep a dead rabbit in the glove compartment to take a drink every now and then.
