Mac OSX - run no AV at all
Windows 8.1 - nothing other then the pre-intsalled windows defender (or whatever it's called).
previous systems of windows 7 and XP - never ran any third party AV, always just used the MSE
never had any virus issues on any system, EVER.

Generally virus developers don't target Macs (although they are starting to do so) so it's less dangerous there not having AV. On Windows, defender works perfectly and seems just as reliable as some other AV software, so I'm happy with it.

Quote from: chenks76 i have two systems at home
Mac OSX - run no AV at all
Windows 8.1 - nothing other then the pre-intsalled windows defender (or whatever it's called).
previous systems of windows 7 and XP - never ran any third party AV, always just used the MSE
never had any virus issues on any system, EVER.
That you know of
Trust me... somewhere in there you would find some nasties lurking on those machines if you used 3rd party scanners.
I tried this a few times... used AVG... then uninstalled and used Avast.... or Norton... etc... each one would pick up something the others had missed. Thats quite a scary thought really when you think about it... no matter what AV you use, something WILL slip through undetected and you've got no idea until disaster dtrikes.

that number is almost meaningless and certainly does not indicate there is anything actively wrong with your computer.

Quote from: 7up .... I'm talking active processes that were detected.
But hey... you're the judge and jury
140?!? The total number of processes running on my computer at the moment is only 66.
7up, I find you guilty of gross credulity and sentence you to six months of community service taking calls from people who say they are from Microsoft and there is something wrong with your computer..
