Dahau Starlight Install

Correction, if you can get them to run linux or a mac they will be fairly well protected from themselves lol. which is the other reason I don't fool with AV, I run linux most of the time.

These test don't matter, the point is most viruses these days are "zero day viruses" and the user should be educated on what to do and what not to do . Again no reason to install a antivirus that just takes up CPU and memory. It's a complete waste of resources and it doesn't matter if it takes a little bit of resources or alot it's a waste. This would be like installing a new camera in BI and pointing it at the wall.

Did you read the charts... Norton provides 100 percent protection over zero day attacked...costs me 6 dollars per pc...The CPU use is undetectable....You obviously never managed a group of user's...You can scream until your face is blue...Won't help... Furthermore any website can be subject to attack even the blue iris update website...So not having protection is stupid... Recommending folks not using antivirus is dangerous and foolish...If folks would be protected we would all have less problems...

If a computer is on the net it should have virus protection if you don't want to get a virus. If you want a virus or don't care then don't install protection. If you REALLY don't want a virus then also stay off bit torrent sites and don't open email attachments.

I have windows 10 pc that is dedicated only for bi and nothing else, I have a laptop for everything else. I was thinking that windows defender was enough now you guys got me worried if its enough.
 
Windows had shitty built-in virus protection. Good enough for preventing vast outbreaks of old virii because some people are too cheap/lazy/whatever to install up to date protection. Defender performs poorly in virus protection tests.

There is no anti virus that will 100% protect you, I will bet my next million paychecks on that, I've cleaned virus's from so many computers that already had anti virus it's not even funny, the biggest reason computers get infected is end users.
