Advice Request What software would you pay most?

[greatdivide]

Let's just say that money is really really tight, but you have enough to buy just 1 security software or anything that can protect you online, which one would it be?

This would be the scenario:
- User doesn't browse obvious malware sites.
- User plays games, uses Photoshop, and browses regularly with some safety addons from Mozilla.
- User barely uses USB. If he does, it's mostly to copy-paste movies/games/music and he's 100% confident that the drive is 100% free from virus.

Very interested in your input.

Save the money and install Comodo Firewall according to cruelsisters's recommendation and your security is going to be better than most paid suites. ( my experience for close to 2 yrs.)

Sandboxie - Lifetime license

or

AppGuard - version Lifetime license

Honestly you can build a very decent security system free of charge like what I'm doing now.
AV: ESET (got a free code from giveaways, but any AV including Qihoo 360 to Avast will do perfectly)
USB scanner: MC Shield (better safe than sorry, plus it doesn't really use much resource)
Sandbox: Sandboxie Free
Anti-Exploit: Malwarebytes Anti Exploit
Companion AV/2nd opinion scanner: Zemana Antimalware
Firewall: ESET took over my firewall but if I wasn't using ESET, Windows firewall would have done just fine

Don't rely on just 1 piece of software to keep you safe, that is virtually impossible, unless you're talking about virtual machines, but those are a hassle (to me).

But if you really want to buy a piece of software that would make your system that much secure I think Shadow defender would be a good choice.

I agree on Shadow Defender - Lifetime license.

Hmm. Shadow Defender seems to be famous. I'll give that one a look.

I'll also search the forums for some giveaways and hopefully I can win one of them. Thank you very much for your replies amigos!

I will not get any paid security software.

I will use the tight money in a lot better way.

And there are free software or layered approach protects better or equal to paid security software.

@yesnoo is correct on this one - I cannot deny it.

This is just a sample scenario.

Don't buy anything, with money tight you should spend them on something you really need. Use no virus thanks exe and a free antivirus of your choosing. You should be fine.

 

[Deleted member 2913]

This is just a sample scenario.

I am using internet for the past 12 years & never got any paid security software.

So real or sample scenario the post is apt for both.

Use free products like Comodo, Avast, Qihoo, Zemana, MBAM ,Crystal Security,NVT ERP Beta ...so many choices, you can probably build multiple configs just by using free softw.

Tinywall firewall

Backup - AOMEI or Macrium Reflect Free, MEGA online storage, onedrive..

Ccleaner free/Privazer or just use the inbuilt windows tools..

Sandboxie free,Toolwiz Time freeze(doesnt protect MBR)

Norton DNS, or browser addons like Bitdefender TrafficLight for online safety... and safe browsing habits..
