Avoiding America Based Anti-virus Software

[Burrito]

This is a tin foil hat thread.

There are multiple logic issues...

But sometimes it's better to not address things.

I recommend you go with Thor Premium for 20.00 with the discount code, and it is based, I think in Denmark.

I am running it alongside Webroot SecureAnywhere...VERY FAST on my PC.

Make sure you put a Chinese AV on an American made OS. (Sarcasm)...sorry I had to do it.

I think Geographical paranoia is not good.

31. Thehacker - Peru

It says that it has been discontinued in 2013: The Hacker Software - AntiMalware

I don't understand where to download the program from and what it does.

What about Emsisoft and F-Secure two best companies in protection and privacy policy.

I mainly use Linux distros and MacOS, but, for Windows I'd go with Kaspersky or Emsisoft. Although I do think that by using Windows 10 which, obviously is made by an american based company will totally negate any protection you use from a non-US based company. I'm not saying Windows 10 is bad I just think that wanting to avoid American based security software whilst using Microsoft Windows kinda defeats the point.

Exactly what I think. It is a contradiction.
And it's not just M $ .. If not it's facebook, twitter and the Internet itself is an American invention. and Defragmenter optimizers etc.

Spot on. I haven't got a Facebook account anymore I got rid of it last year but I do use Twitter. Even when I'm running a locked down Linux distro I still use twitter and YouTube etc. We can be private and secure, but as you correctly pointed out where does it stop, only sticking to 2 or 3 websites, encrypting everything and basically spending more time trying not to be spied on than actually enjoying the World Wide Web.

Lets say we install non-US security software and really go to town locking our systems down it's still Windows which still has doors that any 3 letter agency could open and walk right past all of our security.

Yes, it looks like they have discontinued it.

What do you want to download?

Good to see that some logic and reason has returned to this thread.

Don't forget about Crystal Security with a new version 3.7.0.39. He is fairly active on this forum: Update - Crystal Security 3.7 BETA

But I agree with using Windows Defender as MS already has your info. I don't really care which AV I use because I rely on VoodooShield - and it's 100% American.

Ditto.

Most of the companies especially software companies are interested in doing their business in the USA so you do find their branch office in the USA. So its best to stick with your requirement of eliminating en-ess-aye malware and finding the antivirus packs that do it.
