margrave Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Are any of you guys running a virus scanner on your 10 machines, or do you feel the Windows Defender built in is enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avijit Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Windows Defender is enough. If you still want to use external one go for Eset Nod32 8 or 360 Total Security 5.2. goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456789A Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I like Eset because it's cheap and it puts a blue man on your screen when it starts. T3X4S, goretsky and +E.Worm Jimmy 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3X4S Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I dont see a need personally. Its not my primary OS, and when I am using it - I know what to click on and what not too.If something were to get infected, so what ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neowinuser1991 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I personally like Panda's Cloud Antivirus. Bitdefender also has a free version as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

francescob Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I haven't used an antivirus for more than a decade, I kept one installed for manual scanning but now I just use VirusTotal for any unsigned executable I download. Zero infections so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceelf Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I personally like Panda's Cloud Antivirus. Bitdefender also has a free version as well. Panda Cloud got integrated into Panda AV 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margrave Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 I did update it. It still says that date for 'created on' though.... Definitions version 1.187.1631.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neowinuser1991 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Panda Cloud got integrated into Panda AV 2015. Still available for me at pandacloud.com and running it on several machines. Annoyingly bugs you like AVG though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a 403 error on that page. http://www.pandasecurity.com/mediacenter/panda-security/panda-cloud-antivirus-free-now-panda-free-antivirus/ To coincide with the launch of the Panda Security 2015 consumer products, Panda Cloud Antivirus FREE Edition is from today the new Panda Free Antivirus, and as such joins the family of consumer products from Panda Security. -- Panda Cloud Antivirus Pro Edition will be replaced by Panda Antivirus Pro 2015.

Studio384 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Windows Defender + Common Sense and your good to go! :) +InsaneNutter 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AStaUK Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I'm going with a slightly different answer to what I would normally suggest. If your Win10 machine is used purely for testing then I would consider leaving it with the built in AV (and use common sense). If you have Win10 setup are are using it as your main PC then I would run something like Eset Nod32 or Kaspersky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneNutter MVC Posted November 10, 2014 MVC Share Posted November 10, 2014 Windows Defender + Common Sense and your good to go! :) +1 It always surprises me how many people on tech sites like Neowin feel they need to pay for antivirus. I used to use Sophos simply because I could get it for free, It never found anything in 5+ years. After i could no longer get Sophos for free i just stuck with Security Essentials / Windows Defender. Common sense is really all you need though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
switch6 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Once the technical preview period ends and the official build is released, that's when I'll get Norton Internet Security added. For the time being, I'm not doing anything sensitive or production-level on my Windows 10 setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceelf Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 http://www.cloudantivirus.com/en/ works for me That's a different page from what you said earlier, and links to Panda Free 2015 anyway. The 'Cloud' version is no longer offered except through that suite, as I said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
