What is your opinion of Kaspersky to secure your computer cpmpared to say Norton or McAfee?

 

[Syrup]

Antivirus is a scam made to trick people who cannot into computers into paying money for something more irritating and harmful to your computer than an actual virus

Does Mcafee protect you from cyberbullying and other computer nasties?

I have no personal experience but some people don't trust anything that comes from Russia. It's called russophobia.

Norton and McAfee are AIDS and cancer respectively. I wouldn't touch either of those with a 50 foot dildo.

Windows Defender and a decent adblocking extension is sufficient for most use cases. Maybe Malwarebytes AntiMalware as well if you can't help downloading and installing random .EXE files. That said, if you're extra paranoid or you share a computer with one or more retards, ESET Internet Security does an excellent job without cucking your computer or sending your data to the Ruskies.

Use Linux.

ESET is available for Linux, too.

Better still, use bear computer.

For Linux users, if you want extra protection, you can use ClamAV and run it in a terminal, or you can install ClamTK as a graphical frontend afterwards.

The only antivirus I use is malwarebytes which just scans for stuff when I want unlike most antivirus which will delete your files because of a false positive. The worst part about antivirus software for me is how it always deletes piracy stuff not because its dangerous but because its "potentially unwanted" The only time I actually did get malware IMO was when AVG installed itself on my computer as part of a software bundle and I couldnt get rid of it without going through a really annoying process.

If you are from US use Kaspersky
If you are from RU use anything else.

Norton and especially McAfee are trash. Avira/G Data/Nod32 etc. are better
