So as I'm slowly building myself a gaming computer, I remembered the whole "need antivirus" part of running windows. So what do you all recommend? Preferably free? Malwarebytes, SpyBot? Avast! Still good? |

Ok, cool. I ran without one for years, then had a rootkit issue, then stopped using Windows for a few years, so I wasn't sure what the current standard was. Of course, I'm still running XP until I snag a cheap upgrade to 7 or 8. |

Avast or malwareytes, probably. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk |

I used to use AVG, but haven't used any in a long time. |

I've used Avast!, AVG, and Avira (current) and found them all acceptable. |

Gotcha. I won't be browsing the web on this at all, other than to DL addons- just going to be a dedicated WoW box. |

Is this box going to be connected to your home network? If so, do not run Windows XP. |

It will. But everything else on my home network is running OSX, if that matters. |

I like eset. Written in assembly, so quite fast and not a resource hog. Not free though. |
