Any ideas, sugestions?

Lol, obviosuly :3, but srly.. im tired of av. im pretty careful with my shit. and i never get any virus alerts or anything. so i was thinking of just sandboxing my system, and leaving the default windows firewall on ( i know its shit) and installing malwarebytes pro which i consider to be preatty awesome.
You have any sugestions maybe? iv been thinking about sandboxie, but i would not really know how to set it up right.

I haven't had any sort of anti virus in years, I have no problems. You sound more careful than me, do what you want, you'll be okay, only people who don't have an idea what they are doing download a virus, and then run it.

This thread contridicts to your "you'll be okay, only people who don't have an idea what they are doing download a virus, and then run it."

I got a virus from opening a link from google once, so downloads aren't the only danger.
But yeah, I never use antivirus, I just keep all my important files in a safe place and reformat at the first signs of instability.

I have NOD32 antivirus 4
and I just search google for activation codes everytime mine expires (which is like every 5 months) and find another code in like 5 minutes.
It rarely ever bothers me and offers internet security
I have not gotten a virus (that was instantly dealt with causing no problems) since.
OS: W7HP

s randomly all the time | Or maybe you do have viruses but you don't know about them because they are botnets or other shit that isn't in your face.
