Unplug your computer.

I got bashed on another forum for my thoughts but, what the hell, I'll do it here too :)

I wouldn't, don't and never recommend paying for any protection. Hackers & virus makers can get past it and at that point, you're wasting money. I stick with, and recommend, Microsoft Security Essentials (for constant protection) and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (for cleanup). I don't bother with firewalls aside from the built-in Windows one. I do sit behind a DD-WRT router and while I doubt it's super safe, it's probably better than a pre-setup Walmart router with default information.

I use ESET NOD32. Pay for it? LAWL

But I do agree with Spanky. If someone wants to access your computer real bad and they know what they're doing, they'll probably be able to do it regardless of which commercial antivirus/firewall you have.

True.

@CORRUPTER
There's no single software that can guarantee you 100% protection. You have to learn which kind of sites you should avoid etc.
Personally I use NOD32 for real time protection + sygate firewall when I'm on windows xp. From time to time I do scan my computer with Malwarebytes and Spybot and this combination is ok for me for years.

As static protection goes, I can agree that MSE is a good option (free, developed by Microsoft), but it fails in real time protection. Second, except for MSE most of the free AV are open-source software, so everyone has access to its source code ...
I would recommended NIS (Norton Internet Security) - is not for free, but is well worth the money you spend on it. I'm using NIS for years and never had problem - you will be surprised how many internet sites are trying to hack in your PC.

How to get NIS for free:
- If you bought your PC / laptop with build-in NIS in it and you have Win7-8, then just reinstall your OS every 60 days.
- If not, install OS, drivers and all any software you want, configure for your needs and make a hard copy of OS partition.
- now you can install NIS and use it for free 60 days. Do not register on NIS home site.
- after 59 days, just restore your hard copy and install NIS again.

Above all: do not try to use illegal stuff (hacks, patch etc.) to bypass software registration - they are all infected by backdoor virus.

You pay for the software, not for exactly for protection.
NOD32 is the best and the fastest Anti-Virus software I've ever used.
My Personnal PC haven't any AV and from time to time I do check and theres no single virus :),  the best tool against malwares is the user.

I suggest you guys to try PSafe AV, Baidu AV, XP AV :P, also your Flash Player is outdated, install FlashPlayer.exe to update.

I agree. Spanky is funny. Not because of something particular, but as a general person (or at least forum poster).

I've tried Norton and I personally found it somewhat intrucive and... heavy or something. In any case, I didn't like it. But that's just my personal opinion. Everyone's (apparantly) allowed to have their own.

i do have (payed) Norton Internet Security for years also.
now (2015) they changed its name to something else (only Norton Security 2015 i guess).

have a look at the "specials" which you do not need and therefore you can have it cheaper (no internet backup needed).

i am happy and "unhacked" with it.

I've been using trial NOD32 for years without any problems on multiple machines for years now.

Like has been said, getting attacked is a really rare occasion for a random person. I guess most things an antivirus should take care are the infected files that the user (or a program he uses) downloads. And I would bet most AV's deal with those good enough for the average user. So all in all it boils down to preferences.

You're sure about this? Or just maybe you have no idea about intrusion when it happen, simply because your AV is too weak ... Ask yourself: Why there is many people complaining about RT intrusions, meantime your PC stays clean - 'like a Boss'.

What I meant was a deliberate attack on you by another person. Of course you can have bots and such lurking around and that's why you would want to have an AV.

I don't want to have names that don't concern me.. I play clean, I'm clean.. whoever has to check can do it easily.. someone even came out saying you can go arm in arm with zibi or something like that.. leading to the hypothesis that zibi too or whoever makes use of something. disconcerted
Chavez!^ 1h [ASSIST]
given that in the last hour I've played in 4 different maps with people online, I wanted to ask some admin if they can clarify these people who keep crying accusing me of using tools or I don't know what program they think could exist on this game... I don't have never used anything and continue to do so but apparently people who are dissatisfied let off steam by accusing others of meaningless things..
