Recently I have bought a new notebook/laptop.. My previous had a antivirus software (Microsoft Security Essential).. And the seller told me that if I install an Antivirus, it might crash with my game, but I wonder.

question 1: is that true?

question 2: what antivirus are u using? what antivirus software is free and last long?

1. Partially correct and wrong. If you have 2 Antivirus running in the same time, it may crash or detect one antivirus as a Virus/Trojan. Some game will detect certain games as Trojan/Virus and quarantine it (especially cracked games or hack tools)

2. Almost all Antivirus is NOT free and quite costly. The only FREE antivirus I know of (life-time) is Microsoft Security Essential or recently renamed Windows Defender in Windows 8 or 8.1.

If you're using Windows 7, you need to manually go to MSE or Windows Defender website to download it. If you're using Windows 8 or 8.1, you already have it. It comes as a bundle in Win 8 or 8.1

bit defender free antivirus

avast free antivirus

use either one, both should suffice for your usage. Prevention is better than cure, a good practice would be pay attention or careful about the site you visit. And always remember keep your windows and application updated, as it indirectly strengthen your pc defense by patch up any vulnerabilities remain. 

if you are still worry, just use malwarebyte anti malware for weekly scan to remove any malware that may get infected your pc.

Hope this help smile.gif

I think there should be, cause it is bundled in the OS together.. Win 8 or 8.1 should comes together with Win. Defender. Try search for Windows Defender in your Apps Search.

Btw this is the link : LINK

thanks for the link!!

I dont spend money on buying antivirus, just keep finding the extended trial version, when you are lucky, you can get 1 year free

Wow, i like these links especially the first one!! Thanks a lot!!

By the way, I do rmbr the shop keeper told me try to put my data, game, software in D drive instead of C drive.. It is because I can recover my laptop by using C drive when my D drive is infected with virus.. Sth deal with partition.. Is it true?
