Not criticizing, just not really seeing the point of this thread. which again, is a bit odd for the Deals forum, which has thus far exclusively related to more access-exclusive gaming deals. That is to say, if you make a thread about Bitdefender trials, it'll end up being a semi-permanent thread. ![]() According to Google, Bitdefender Total Security trials range from a persistent 30 day offer to a seemingly fairly frequently offered 90 day offer, so not sure this is really much of a special offer. Then again, I've been seeing those Ashampoo threads every so often in Deals, so who knows.Īlso, free trials are pretty easy to get for Antiviruses. Non-gaming offers go into Off-Topic, I thought? =O Not having them is a security liability, and IMO computer security is no laughing matter. There is no way to be 100% protected, but Antivirus software (the ones developed by good security software companies, at least) have means of figuring if a software is malicious in the short time window between it is found and patched. TL DR of articles: Malicious software nowadays has never been so sophisticated, and there are ways to get infected simply from being connected to the internet. Edit: Replaced with better and more up-to-date article, albeit I couldn't find one that is solely about Defender, the opening section of that one should do.Īlso, if you think that you're protected because you're on *nix, I have bad news for you. In case you're under the misconception and thinks "if I don't do stupid stuff, I shouldn't worry", then I recommend this article.Īnd/or if you think that "Windows Defender is good enough", here's another article. ![]() I have no idea why lately comments like yours pop up all the time whenever "antivirus" comes up in a discussion. Yes, in this day and age Antivirus software are more relevant than ever.
