Vice Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 The AF portal has finally shown some usefulness. Free download of Symantec's antivirus, you have to bring a CD to work and burn it on there though. Check the front page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Napoleon_Tanerite Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Step 1 to not getting viruses on your computer is to not click stupid shit. I haven't run AV software since I was in high school, and I don't get viruses. It's amazing what you DON'T download when you only click links you know. NOTHING is EVER being given away free on the internet, NO, she's NOT live on camera, and you don't need any "toolbars" And much like the girls in downtown Del Rio, Internet Explorer is nothing but a virus delivery medium.

contraildash Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Only anti-virus you'll ever need -- free and doesn't slow down your computer: Microsoft Security Essentials I use that + Malwarebytes Anti-Malware + CCleaner. Gets the job done. All Symantec has ever done was jack up my computer beyond all recognition. Screw that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonDawg Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I use that + Malwarebytes Anti-Malware + CCleaner. Gets the job done. Symantec or MacAfee will get the job done most of the time. I have an infinite subscription to MacAfee enterprise (just virus scan and not all the other crap I don't need). AVG is good as well and free if you don't want to be paying. The MSE package the successor to Defender and works well, but MacAfee always seems to pick up any trojan/suspicious script i run across online. CCleaner won't really find viruses, but it's great for cleaning up your drives and registry. Of course, Napoleon is dead on. I avoid stupid shit and never get viruses. Stupid links, file sharing and sexy prons are easy ways to kill your machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
contraildash Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I was just posting my daily computer 'cleaning' work flow. I use CCleaner for wiping temp files and the like, cleaning up the registry as well (occasionally). But like everyone else has stated, don't download stupid shit or visit nefarious websites.

Toro Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Bump with a message I just received. I don't think there's any new info (I never checked the original notice), but there are direct links for different systems here. If you don't have a CAC reader, you should be able to burn it to a CD at work and bring it home. ---------------------- The DoD Antivirus Software License Agreement with McAfee and Symantec allows active DoD employees to utilize the antivirus software for home use. Home use of the antivirus products will not only protect personal PCs at home, but will also potentially lessen the threat of employees bringing malicious logic into work and compromising DoD networks. DoD military and civilian personnel can download free antivirus software for their home computers from the DoD Patch Repository website. Note that contractors are excluded from using the software at home or on any other system not belonging to the DoD. Additional Information is available through the AF Portal: HOME USE SOFTWARE: https://www.my.af.mi...1237B8FD0440136 Antivirus Software Can Now Be Downloaded at Home I found that not all of the hyperlinks on the AF Portal work. If you have trouble obtaining anti-virus software through AF channels, try this link: https://infosec.navy.mil<https://infosec.navy.mil/> AF Portal users may now download home use antivirus software at the links below from a non-.mil computer, including a home computer, equipped with a CAC reader. - Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1, Release Update 1 for Windows XP/ Vista/ 7 32-bit: https://www.my.af.mi...n_12.1.1000.zip - Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1, Release Update 1 for Windows XP / Vista/ 7 64-bit: https://www.my.af.mi...n_12.1.1000.zip - Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1, Release Update 1 for Mac https://www.my.af.mi...AC_12_1_RU1.zip - Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1, Release Update 1 for Linux https://www.my.af.mi...EP_12_1_RP1.zip - Symantec AntiVirus for Mac (pending) - Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1, Release Update 1 Release Notes: https://www.my.af.mi...EP12.1.1000.pdf - Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 Tools and Documents (pending) - McAfee VirusScan Home Use Option https://www.my.af.mi...G_1803_User.exe This site has McAfee anti-virus software for Mac 10.8: https://infosec.navy.mil<https://infosec.navy.mil/> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) Avira is the way to go. No bloatware, minimal use of RAM, and free. AVG is a resource hog! Edited September 25, 2012 by Vertigo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
