What antivirus is good for downloading mods






















Here's the download link. In the zip file you'll find:. Inside the scripts folder, there's a folder called 'addins. You can delete them all if you don't want them. The 'addins' folder is where you'll be dropping.

Again, refer to each mod's installation instructions. It's a powerful utility that allows for the editing and saving of GTA game files, and it's now being developed for GTA 5. Different mods use OpenIV in different ways, so we can't really give you a general list of instructions: read the directions on each given mod's page. As you would expect, Kaspersky Free is a scaled down version of the full program - a tool that we really like more on which below. The free version ditches additional features such as privacy protection and safe payment sandboxes to concentrate on powerful, no-frills and - most importantly - free protection for your PC.

The result is a tremendously easy to use and navigate bit of software that does an effective job of keeping you protected from viruses. Using the nuts and bolts real-world scanning engine of the paid-for suite, Kaspersky Free is fiendishly hard for viruses and trojan horses to break down.

And we love that it doesn't constantly pester you with nudges to upgrade to the full version. But, ironically, we will just for a moment, because Kasperksy Anti-Virus isn't expensive to buy and yet affords much better protection to your PC or PCs. Review and where to download: Kaspersky Free. Avast and AVG haven't yet fully merged, despite the former formally acquiring the latter in mid The newly combined company says the two free antivirus products will remain separate, although there's apparently a joint AV package on the way soon.

Obviously, though, Avast now has a lot more data to work with, having expanded its effective userbase and, therefore, its threat detection network to a whopping million users. The latest edition of Avast Free Antivirus adds an automatic gaming mode to mute popups and reduce system load when you're firing up a processor-hungry game, which is very handy indeed, and the interface has been given a clean new overhaul. There's a password manager, too, which is an undeniably good addition to your security portfolio.

It scores well on AV-TEST's widespread malware benchmark and continues a clean sweep against 0-day attacks — presumably that expanded detection network is really helping. Less impressive is the slight negative effect Avast has on software launch times, and its slightly popup-heavy attitude. Review and where to download: Avast Free Antivirus. Marketing itself as "business-grade security", Sophos Home does a little more than most free antivirus software, and actually seems better suited to families.

You get standard virus protection and anti-malware protection, along with browser tools like anti-phishing and, most importantly, content control. Combined with central management of up to 10 PCs, this means you can effectively lock down your kids' browsing options. Although Sophos Home has always had desktop notifications, there was no premium version of the software for it to encourage an upgrade to. That changed in February with the launch of Sophos Home Premium. Review and where to download: Sophos Home.

Each entry in this list has been carefully chosen for its business features, such as remote installation and central management. The best business antivirus software will have enterprise-level protection against threats, but that doesn't mean they have to cost a lot of money, either.

The price per installation can sometimes be cheaper than even our recommended best antivirus packages. Avast Business Antivirus Pro An excellent business antivirus suite, giving you various tools such as virus protection, Firewall, email protection, anti-spam and the ability to sandbox applications for complete security.

Avast Business Antivirus Pro as opposed to the standard Avast Business Antivirus also includes Sharepoint and Exchange protection, as well as a number of tools for your servers. Bitdefender products are loved by the independent testing labs, highly rated for malware detection, removal, performance and usability. Most of the features work automatically — anti-malware, firewall, web advisor, URL filtering — but you can also customise the product to control user actions.

Symantec Endpoint Protection Symantec's first benefit is the company's Insight file reputation technology, an effective way to detect and block even the very latest undiscovered threats. Other layers of protection include virus protection, behaviour monitoring, intrusion protection, a firewall, and the 'Power Eraser' to remove stubborn threats and repair your system.

Avira Antivirus for Endpoint This is Avira's main small business product. It takes all the core features you'd expect — antivirus, baseline network protection, web filtering — and extends them with file server protection and optimisation, along with application whitelisting and blacklisting. The desktop side of the package has all the usual quality Kaspersky modules — antivirus, antispam, a firewall, more — but the mobile security technologies are even more impressive.

Mike began his career as a lead software developer in the engineering world, where his creations were used by big-name companies from Rolls Royce to British Nuclear Fuels and British Aerospace.

And I wouldn't exactly put Moddb or the Nexus sites on the same level as typical "gaming sites" where people trade junk on WoW, or other such nonsense.

Unlike those big headed places, the community has a good say in everything at least on the Nexus sites anyway , and the last time the sites had a noticeable malware problem has been six years ago now.

If fact, there's a better chance that the fake AV I mentioned actually came from there instead of the modding site. Still, that's only my experiences. I asked this question wanting and expecting to hear contrasting opinions, and that's what I'm getting. I'll wait until I can finally figure out how to put together a gaming computer before I jump back in.

Though, transactions are still likely to occur on that gaming computer due to buying DLC on Steam, banking wont, and that's what's important. Posted 08 April - PM Either way, your approach did seem a little heavy handed quietman7. I didn't think it was. You asked and I provided information on the risks as advised by experts to include Microsoft.

I'd rather provide more than less so you can make an informed decision. What you choose to do with that information is up to you. Posted 08 April - PM I didn't think it was. You're right. All you did was provide facts and information. Allow me to make an assessment of some of these though. Regarding trojans and malware that use their own system to specifically target user accounts. This does not effect me in the slightest, as I do not even like MMO games, perhaps with he exception of Minecraft, but I'm not entirely sure if that qualifies either.

Here's another bit taken from the Trend Micro article. I consider clicking on any ads , of any kind , on any website to be careless and irresponsible. This is because the ad distribution industry is nothing but foul and uncaring towards what ads they deliver to sites for revenue, and thus a large majority of malware and trojan distribution today is due to their own carelessness!

That is why I use Adblock Plus! Do not allow online games Ok now that's just closed minded. It's like telling a kid he's not allowed to have fun or play sports because he could hurt himself. Enough of that. I just learned some important stuff! The main reason it gets a bad rating is because apparently some of the AVs they promote are rogue, or at least considered rogue. Just warning you that you might want to clear out some of those. Be careful and stay away from anything that looks suspicious and you'll be fine.

I too have a modded a couple of games myself before, be aware of where you go and what you download. And also make sure to read other users' comments because a lot of times they are more than helpful in deciding whether its safe or not, it works or not. And set up a dual-boot with Ubuntu. Use it for all our banking and shopping needs and Windows for the rest. Have a good time modding! Posted 12 April - AM This is a bit of a hair-brained idea, but circumstances can be funny sometimes.

What if I installed Ubuntu on another computer, browsed game sites and download mods with the safer OS, then place the mods on a USB and move them to the gaming computer? Would that be safe?
