Thanks a lot for your reply. Since I ordered Kaspereskey, I am going to use it for a while. If that is not good, I will check with your option

I second Richard's suggestion of MSE and would add running Malwarebytes(the free version) once a week for peace of mind.

Thank you. I have one doubt. My windows is not genuine. Is that a problem for that?

Shhhh. Not so loud. Never post anything like that on public forums and, more importantly, ...
ALWAYS use genuine software.

Avast free and then behave yourself on the 'net.

Hi Sorry I could not understand what you meant. Do you mean that Avast is better one? Thank you.

All my Windowses began to work way better when I decided to avoid to install any kind of antivirus. On the new PCs it's the very first thing I remove.
I believe it's 10+ years I don't use an antivirus and my PCs work as a charm!
I only keep my firewall on...

Hmm but, I feel my PC is full of Viruses. Even If I delete those (Using Avast anti virus). After some days it will get slow again. So I thought to get an anti virus

I don't know what you mean about "viruses". My colleagues PCs have antiviruses which claim for supposed "viruses" on files they create by themselves.
Learn to inspect the Windows register and avoid to click-'n-run what you receive by e-mail: you'll have a faster PC just because the major slowing app is the Antivirus!

My system is taking much time to load the softwares, for example browsers, paint, word, excel , visual studio etc... so i thought it is because of viruses.

Only one thing anyone could say to this and that's - IDIOT!

Thanks for your consideration, but I stick to my ideas.
|

OK - stick to your neanderthal ideas.
If it wasn't for irresponsible users like you there would be far fewer viruses around and the safer it would be be for everyone.

You should prove your thesis, but -of course- is it up to you do it or not.
The best proof I can say is that I never had any problem. Since Vista, it's rather difficult to run/install something unexpected without explicitly do that (unless you remove the UAC as many users do, and THAT'S WRONG!).
Feel free to do it, if you like...

That's like the drivers who say they've never had an accident but they've seen quite a few in the wing mirror! Or the parents that complain to teachers when their kids start swearing because "they don't #%!@* get it from me!"
As with any biological virus you could very easily be a carrier without showing any symptoms. UAC does not provide you with any protection, merely with an administrative headache. That's why people disable it. Anti-virus does provide you with protection and, far more importantly, everybody else! You may have been lucky so far but there is absolutely nothing to suggest that you will continue to be so ad infinitum. Is a marginal performance increase really worth risking your entire system on?

I DO NOT say I'm immune: on that I'm with you at all!...I got flu as any other human...
I DID GOT a "supposed" virus in the past, but I easily removed it by hacking the registry...worthwhile installing an Antivirus: not at all, in my opinion!
When you buy a brand new PC you often find pre-installed a trial version of some famous AV suite.
Anyone was asked to install it? Anyone was asked to reminds me every now and then to purchase a subscription for updates? Ever tried to uninstall? Very hard, or impossible for a non-expert user.
At this point, should I endorse this kind of "usage violence"?...
Sometimes I believe the primary providers of viruses are the Antivirus producers themselves...
Nothing against you guys, but please respect my viewpoints. I won't walk this argument anymore, if that's hurting you so much...

Quote: I easily removed it by hacking the registry
Try doing that if it's a virus that prevents you booting or ransomware that locks you out. And I guess we'll never know how many others you managed to infect in the time it took you to detect and treat this 'supposed' virus. It is ultimately not possible to respect that which is in no way worthy of respect and your cavalier approach is the very epitome of that!

Just a question, if you wish to answer...
Do you get medicines every day to prevent a flu twice a year?
|
|
|
|
|
No. You 'install' a vaccine which creates antibodies that 'run' all day every day to protect you. Analogy fail!
