New Antivirus?

[Redon]

If you know not to get shady programs from shady websites, common sense will help you more than any anti-virus ever will.

That's a really stupid thing to say.

There are tons of programs that used to be legit that now have one of these annoying adware/spyware/malware bundled installers (want to install some crappy software? click no to actually install it despite the whole description leads you to believe clicking no will not install it). It's literally impossible to have no AV nowadays.

That's why you read what an installer says before clicking on "Next". Also, software that does what you mentioned goes in the category of "shady software" to me. If I see anything like it I throw it away and look for a better alternative. I 've seen that utorrent tries to trick you into installing malware along with it, and I'm surprised there's people who think it's a good idea to use it anyway. Do a bit of research before you download software. Then again, I also don't have the desire to install new software every day. Can you give me an example of these "tons of programs" where a bit of reading and caution won't save you?
