Consumer Anti-Virus Is No Longer Needed.

Short answer no. End user workstation 3rd party Anti-Virus is not necessary. With the recent FTC fine to Avast for $16.5 million for selling customer data they said they would protect, I decided to use this as an excuse to talk about free and paid 3rd party AV. It's not necessary for everyday users. Maybe a second opinion is good to have. But is it worth the trade-offs of privacy, system performance degradation, and annoying settings? Probably not. The default Microsoft Windows Defender or MacOS XProtect are usually good enough.

I always downloaded third-party antivirus like Avast, AVG and McAfee on my previous PCs/laptops. However, on my current laptop (which I bought in April 2020), I have only used Windows Defender.

What do you think about F-Secure products? I completely agree about mcafee and norton being basically an Adware, hehehe. i got a couple of extra questions, in what cases is necessary to have a good AV? and which one would you recommend?
@collinsinfosec
@collinsinfosec 2 месяца назад
I haven't interfaced with F-Secure products, so I do not have an opinion on them. I think 3rd party AV is good for when you are downloading lots of files, interfacing with "dangerous" websites, and general offsec stuff. I do not recommend a specific one. I have heard great things from MalwareBytes. This is the one I recommend people start off with. It's reputable. I also had the chance to play around with Trend Micro's solution (full disclosure, they sponsored a video a while back), it seemed pretty good.

Those McAfee screenshots actually look like malicious browser hijack pop ups meant to trick and scare the user to click the link. I believe they’re using the browser’s notification capabilities or sometimes within the browser to make these pop ups possible…. But I still believe McAfee is junk and would never recommend that product.
