Suggest antivirus software to defeat windows defender?

[76561198836691314]

main requirement for it would be that it does nothing, does not use RAM and lets windows defender think that there is AV installed.

Ahoy, doing anything is clownish these days, ain't it?

> so, why don't you say smth useful then?

I don't want to help.

> if you care so much about misinformation, yet all you write is OT. AND you admitted to spreading misinformation.

I don't know what OT means. And yes I admit that I spread misinformation. It's not the "gotcha" you think it is BECAUSE I accept my mistake. What's a person to do these days? I deny, I get flamed. I accept, I get flamed again. There's no helping some people. Besides it's not like I woke up and thought "I'm gonna spread misinformation in Steam Forums today"

It's not really a harmful misinformation anyway. It's just an ignorant assumption. The intent is what matters.

> You are just a forum clown begging for attention

Whatever you think mate. Thankfully I'm way past the point to care about what people on the web think.

then get out of here, you are useless.

How about you shut up and don't poke your nose into things that don't involve you?

You are the one that came out of nowhere and insulted me, mind you.

replace "you" with "me" in your reply, then it would be more right.
yeah, this would be exactly what you did.

No. Point it out. You can't.

yes because it was deleted.
why would you ask for something you yourself know? like pointy things? go somewhere else then.

[Quint]

Wait what was deleted? I have no idea.

For god knows how manyth time I don't care about antiviruses I was arguing with OP about their ridiculous posts. And it was the one about "you'll get viruses if I do".

my comment: windows defender is not enough for me. i tried a lot of av software. at the moment i use norton 360. why? i guess, one can see within the GUI (graphical user interface) that the av software has more, a lot, functions than defender. i paid 12 €/ year, what is a joke in germany. i have vpn by norton and i have the promise by norton, that my internetconnection is secure using all the possibilities they give to me. normally this software costs me about 30 €/ year. i have found a nice price on amazon. i feel safe. windows defender has very fewer functions, as one can see by watching the GUI of defender. i do not understand, why people do not use av software, which is more specific, if they can effort the software solution. i dont believe even in my dreams, that defender makes the same real as a special av software.
i dont want to be offensive. i am sorry if i told something unfriendly.
thx for reading.

To be frank I find them useless. Antiviruses are useful in the case that something makes it into your PC. And I'm very careful with what I let into my PCs so I'm safe on that regard.

And if something bad makes it into my machine through my trusted sources, the chances are it's something so new the antivirus won't be able to detect it or the virus will stay in the VM.

Win Defender is good enough. All antiviruses do is get on my way. And contrary to classic Microsoft fashion, Windows Defender is actually a pretty good piece of software that doesn't get in my way and respects my choice. (unlike Microsoft Edge which is the complete opposite)

i see. i think about paranoia, when i surf the internet and i think extra av software is good. it is cheap and computers are fast enough to handle av software usage nowadays. i am not a friend of the "brain.exe" thing. i had no issues with defender, but i feel better with extra av software. in germany i can effort the thing...in india/africa and whatever, people may not be able to pay extra av software. this is a pity. i just try to calm down myself using norton 360. if you know what i mean?

Wow. And what are you gonna do with 200MB RAM?

I've noticed a few folks who see any RAM in use they did not specifically authorize as like having a squatter take up residence in your computer. They could have 128 GB of RAM, most of it free, and they'll be all up in arms about the 1-2 GB some browser is using.

Lol I use to be like that when ram was kinda limited when like Vista came out, I remember having Vista Home Premium 32bit on on a desktop, and 4gb of available ram was sometimes pushing it in some cases, so I was on top of disabling services, anything in the background I did not recognize or allow it to run, now a days I don't care what so ever with 64GB off ram lol

I use to run Norton years ago. I'm not sure if its still the same but it got to be so bloated that it was as bad as the actual malware it was supposed to protect you from. If I buy antivirus I want antivirus, I don't need all your backup, disk cleaner, cd burning, media player crap.I know you mentioned you like the GUI, I'm the opposite. I want it to run in the background and I never want to see it, Windows Defender does that for me. While I certainly can afford to buy other software I really don't see the need to pay for software that is basically doing nothing for me. If spending a few bucks makes you feel more secure there is certainly nothing wrong with that either.

I'd be curious to know other peoples experiences. If you don't visit sketchy sites or pirate games/software when was the last time you actually had your antivirus flag a legitimate threat? It's been so long for me that I couldn't even tell you, many many years for sure.
