Hi there horny Which part(s) is the same?

I use ESET NOD32 and have been for quite some years. It’s lean on the system, non-intrusive and works really well.

Then I use MalwareBytes now and then to clear out any harmless installer trojans.

Haven’t had a virus or harmful trojan in the last 6-8 years. * knock on wood *

I’ve had viruses that was very hard to clean, so third party antivirus is crucial to me.

As always, practice safe sex when it comes to brief encounters.


Cheers
Fred

Malware Bytes.

Because It’s easy to right-click->exit it in the tooltray when I don’t have any browsers open and have already scanned.

Best of both worlds. There when you need it, not when you don’t.

It leaves no “sneaky” updaters, watchers, etc. when you exit it.

When you exit it, it’s like it’s not even installed.

I just pin it to the taskbar so that it’s easy to relaunch when I open a web browser (or download stuff).

That said, it seems to play nice with Cubase, too. If I forget and leave it running while Cubase is running, it seems not to not cause any performance issues, even on maxed-out projects.
