    I put the licence in my existing free program, worked fine, once licence is confirmed it downloads/installs the full version

  • liquornoodlescabbage on 29/05/2016 - 09:02

    Does it give you the key before installation?
    Because I already have the program and I don't really want to go through the installation process again.

      when you go to options-activate in the current version the key you have in there now is shown .. I copied it and created a txt file with the current key in notepad to revert back to when this expires.. then put the new one in.

          Either way still their software / company and that's enough for me to be sceptical of their abilities.

          @lukey159: I was more thinking of their UTMs. Very good in my experience as a hardware solution in conjunction with software.

          No outsourcing on the UTM as they bought out the company that made them ;)

      It's worse not better. If you keep Windows updated then Microsoft Security Essentials is fine in this day and age.

      AVG's terms of service state that they sell all the data they collect about your PC/Laptop to third parties. Stay away from this software, it has actually become spyware.

        I quite like the inbuilt AV/Firewall for Windows 10 although it can be a bit of a struggle on stick Atom PC's and cheap tablets. For me, there's really only two choices - the inbuilt (for all of my low powered machines) or a corporate grade one like Symantec Enterprise Protection. This plus the use of Firefox as the default Browser with Ad-Block plus is pretty much enough safeguard for the every day use.

          I've stuck with Windows 7 and only use Microsoft Security Essentials and the UBlock Origin adblocker extension on Chrome Browser. I keep Windows updated and I haven't encountered a virus for many, many years now. That said, I don't hang around the dark areas of the web or download dodgy files which helps.

          I do back up my data. I made the mistake of having both copies online (for convenience) - something I've now changed. But even so I have a staging area and that is at risk until dumped to an offline drive. At the time I think I had about 2 months worth of data (photos mostly) vulnerable. I had a 3rd backup off site for everything else. It took a long time to recover and verify. There were terabytes of it.

          Of course the whole point of having a good antivirus instead of one that lets everything through is to prevent the situation in the first place. So apart from deflecting and blaming me I fail to see that you even have a point to make.

          Your backup methodology is ineffective, you shouldn't rely on an antivirus product and any number of other events could have caused you to lose data like a hard drive failure, corruption of the data and so forth.

          Holy crap did you even read the rest of what I wrote? I said my mistake was keeping the backups online. And that I've remedied that. However I doubt many people physically plug in their backup drive, make the backup and then unplug it every day. So I have a staging area. It's a reasonable compromise. I might do it once a week or if life gets in the way it might go 2 or 3 weeks. It might be 6 months before I make an offsite backup so I know that means I could lose that data in the event of a burglary or fire.

          In any case MY point was running a crappy ineffective antivirus is pointless. It either catches the virus or it doesn't. If it doesn't it might as well not be there. MSE went from being very very good to being very very bad in a short timeframe.

          @syousef: Hate to break it to you but there is no proven effective prevention against cryptolock variants. Short explanation is that they don't run with escalated privileged or try to 'infect' system files. Its just another piece if code which slowly writes to whatever files it has access to. Depending on the variant of the virus you may have lost your files even with other AV programs.

          @wyrmy:

          From what I have read the virus signatures for the cryptovirus I encountered were available in under 24 hours for some AV. Even MS Security Essentails had signatures within a couple of days. What made this one nasty is it used a time bomb based on local time and as Australia is at GMT +10 we were hit first.

          As it happens I noticed the unusual activity manually and shut it down before it had encrypted files I didn't have a second copy of. The keys were also released within a couple of weeks by the malware author who claimed it was an experiment gone wrong (but not before collecting some bitcoins…my guess is he got cold feet).

        I'd disagree Microsoft security essentials always ranks the lowest in terms of detection tests. See www.av-comparatives.org where Microsoft and sophos are at the bottom in terms of detection rate. There are plenty of free alternatives that offer better detection rate than Microsoft security essentials.

        • [Deactivated] on 29/05/2016 - 11:34

          Never claimed it was the best at detecting viruses. It's a sufficient safeguard when Windows is kept updated and used in conjunction with a robust browser adblocker like Ublock Origin. The negatives of third party free AV software far outway the positives for the vast majority of users.

          If being spied upon by third party AV software and having a slower machine helps you sleep better at night then it's the best solution for you.

        • R3XNebular on 29/05/2016 - 11:57

          @Chateau:

          Your statement said "it's worse not better".
          Wouldn't an antivirus with a higher detection rate coupled with "Ublock Origin" be better?

          I stated there are free alternatives. Your statement seems to imply that every single free antivirus will slow down your machine and you'll be spied on. Could you provide evidence and/or link me to that claim where all free antiviruses are "spyware". I wouldn't use AVG personally but like I stated early there are plenty of free alternatives that provide a better detection rate than microsoft.

          You seem to make the assumption because that it's Microsoft that it won't affect performance.

          https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/
          See how Microsoft scores a 4 out of 5 in terms of performance. View the other months of testing where it shows Microsoft at 3.5/5.

          http://www.av-comparatives.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/av…
          Another performance test (PC MARK 8 Benchmark) showing Microsoft Security Essentials having a bigger performance impact than other free alternative antiviruses.

          So in essence your Microsoft Security Essential is probably slower than other free alternatives,
          There are plenty of other antivirus trials I managed to score thanks to Ozbargain (ESET, Bitdefender) that I suggest people use over the Microsoft Security Essentials/Defender

          My setup:

          MSE + Malwarebytes free (scanner only) + Tinywall Firewall

          Chrome/Firefox + Ublock Origin + Javascript Blocker + Flash Blocker + WebRTC Blocker + HTTPS Everywhere

They aren't opinionated articles/reviews by bloggers etc. They are benchmark results from tests. Could you elaborate how my articles are "confirmation bias". It'd be the equivalent of me posting the results from www.cpubenchmark.net in regards to CPU's… I am happy for you to post "benchmarks" that prove Third Party AV slows down the computer.

          Your personal circumstances dictate the sort of cover required. EG - do you download from risky sites (torrents), are you inclined to click on unknown emails/links (scams), or visit sites you're not sure about? Most reputable websites have their own protection to stop hackers from embedding nasties but even the best can be exploited.

          If you were happy with it I'd look around for a cheap BD licence renewal. Alternatively spend $19 on Kaspersky IS. 3 devices 2 years - absolute bargain imo: https://www.saveonit.com.au/products/productdetails/65123728

      • theBestBastion on 29/05/2016 - 16:12

      Bloatware? Benchmarks from av-tests.org and av-comparatives.org shows Windows Defender as worse off in the performance test. Also shows AVG with better detection rate than windows defender.

        Spyware? Lol. I'll bet he uses google without knowing anything about the data it collects about him without his knowledge or consent - and generally speaking, not for his benefit. Unless he's an anonymous internet surfer he probably also doesn't know that most websites collect data about him.

        • R3XNebular on 30/05/2016 - 00:50

          Lol yep and I'm extremely surprised how many people are up voting posts similar to his basically saying Microsoft security essentials is great and other software is bloatware…

      Get Kaspersky instead of this 3rd rate product. Deals for cheap keys (for kaspersky) have been posted on Ozbargain.

    Never installed any of this sorta shit in over 2 decades. Use a genuine Windows and keep it up to date and don't click on stupid pop ups. Simple.

      Is it also safe to assume that you are using XP?

      • scuderiarmani on 29/05/2016 - 16:46

        I've used 98 onwards and am using 10 now. Never once had an issue.

  • AMLagonda on 29/05/2016 - 15:27

    I use Avast free, sure it annoys you now with popups but its free and works well.

    Code does not work. Thanks so much for this. I just uninstalled Bitdefender 3 months free version for this crap!!!!

    • 4892 on 29/05/2016 - 16:40

      You can always reinstall bitdefender and use your key again, should still be good.

    • [Deactivated] on 29/05/2016 - 17:10

      Sophos Home is pretty good and always free

    • door999mo on 29/05/2016 - 19:42

      I just installed and it is working.

  • spkh on 29/05/2016 - 16:37

    not sure why it doesn't work for me on windows 10 64bit

    • door999mo on 29/05/2016 - 19:43

      Just installed on my windows 10 64bits. You might want to try again.

  • eris on 29/05/2016 - 21:32

    I used AVG for years, both the free and paid versions. But I recently swapped to the free version of Avira, the increase in nagware and popups on AVG (even with pop-ups disabled on the sys tray) was driving me spare.

  • kool082 on 29/05/2016 - 22:33

    Not working on Win10 x64 bit…Just tried again!!

    Every time there is a discussion about AV in these forums, people come out of the woodwork telling everyone how it's useless and should be uninstalled etc. If you're running ublock origin, privacy badger, https everywhere, noscript etc, you're not the target audience of AV.. You're right, you probably don't need it. A lot of those people you're convincing to uninstall though… they really do need it. You do more harm than good when you drive people who don't have the skills to protect themselves away from products that can help them.

    Just because an approach works for you, doesn't mean it's the best option for everyone.

  • Nagreddy22 on 30/05/2016 - 00:21

    Does it support Mac.. Can anyone plz tell me

  • Brainwhacker on 30/05/2016 - 10:42

    Try Avast as well, uses less resources

  • Roemac on 30/05/2016 - 12:14

    Not working for me. On windows 10 as well but the message I get is: Sorry, you've entered an invalid license.

    Could be expired? Can anyone else confirm please.
