    What are you using for a computer virus protection?
    What about virus clean up?

    I am still on CCLeaner/Malwarebytes
    Anything new?

    Avast or AVG or Kaspersky - are the good or better than they were?

    What are you doing to protect yourself from Viruses/hackers/etc

    Don't cheap out. Norton has been protecting me for over a decade now.

    Haven’t had antivirus or anything outside of whatever windows defender does in about 15 years with no issues.

    Staying away from non-safe sites. Best software there is.

    I generally do
    I have not had any major issues in years
    but
    A friend was asking what I used
    CCLeaner and Malwarebytes generally works
    Avast or AVG will suffice for the most generic user
